Default quick question about tire sizes

Hello,
i need to order winter tires for my trans am. i bought a set of factory camaro rims to mount them on. while i was searching ebay i came across a great deal on a brand new 225 55 16 blizzak ws60. i then purched the tire and now im in need of three more tires. i saw the tires on tire rack for 114$ in a 225 55 16 but now they are out and only have 225 50 16. do you guys think it would be weird or bad if i bought a (1) 225 55 16 from another website and then bought the 225 50 16 from tire rack. then i would but the 55's in back and 50's in front...is that bad or would he look weird? bad handling in snow ect. ?
thanks!!

It shouldn't be a big deal. You shouldn't have a problem.

You can run within one size front to rear and not have any problems with the ABS I done it before, your good.
