Does this sound like a decent set-up?
16x8 wheels with 225/55-16 tires on the front and 245/50-16 tires
on the rear. Or should I just run the stock 225/55 on all four corners?
Please let me know any possible benefits and/or drawbacks.
Thanks in advance.

There's not much difference between 50% and 55% side wall with +20mm contact patch. And you will lose the capability to rotate your tires. I'd say just keep 225/55 on all 4 corners.

keep the stockers!

I would stay with the stock size unless you want to upsize your wheels to 17 or 18 inch.

What about this 16x8 wheel with a +42mm offset and 225/55-16's all around?
How does the +42 offset affect my car vs. the stock 50mm?
Since the wheel is 8 inches wide, would I be better off running 245/50-16
rubber at all four corners?

You have aftermarket 16's? The lower offset will bring the wheel OUT of the fender well some, which will look better (more flush with the side).
