Winter tyres - am I doing it right?

My 07 Mercedes-Benz C-Class estate has slightly different tyres front and back, which is common I am sure.

I have bought four spare alloys fitted with winter tyres which are the same size as the front tyres (205/55 R16 91H), but my present rears are 225/50 R 16?

Will it make nay differance if I fit all four or do I have to buy two different rears?

No. What you plan to do is correct in this circumstance.

A big improvement on the previous C-Class. Feels well built and robust. Very comfortable and refined. High quality ride. Good CDI diesels.
