You can but it is not advisable. The 205/50-16 tire will be .80" (3.22%) smaller in overall diameter. This will cause the speedometer to read 62 mph at a true 60 mph. Your engine will also turn 28 more rpms per mile. Handling, braking, power, and fuel mileage will be adversely effected. If you wish to go to a 50 series tire then install 225/50-16. This size will work perfectly and there will be no changes in any aspects of your vehicle except a slightly less comfortable ride due to the lower sidewall.

Can you go to a P195 60 R15 with all-season radials on new wheels on a 2006 Focus with original P205 50 R16 summer performance tires?
Yes you can. Search online for a tire calculator and you can compare sizes and how much it will be 'out' by (size and speed). You don't want anything with more than 5% difference, going from 205/50/R16's to 195/60/R15's (which I did for my focus) is only a difference of 3%

Can you put 225 50 R16 on your 98 Chrysler Concorde when your tires on there now are 225 60 R16?
No, if you wish to swap to 50 series tires then you have to go to 265/50-16 which will keep the overall diameter close to the same. You may have clearance issues on the side with this tire. My advise is to stick with the OEM size.
