the 225/55/18 tires have an diameter of 27.74 which is .10 inch larger than the 245/50/18 so those are probably ok to use, but you have to check the offsets and bolt pattern of the rims they are on to make sure they are ok. If the offset is wrong or the tires are to large they can make contact with other parts of your vehicle which could cause damage.
