Are you talking about putting those on the back or on the front? Just curious since you mentioned you need 2 more tires since Ellis already has 2 for you...
225/50/16s will not only be skinnier than the stock 245/50/16s, but will also be shorter. That means you'll probably throw an ABS INOP light whenever you hit the brakes, if you have them matched with a pair of stock sized tires.
Also, you don't want to put drag radials on the front... not good for your front traction.
