I believe maybe a misunderstanding The sizes you listed are the stock sizes, but the 225s should be on the front and the 255s on the rear. Many board members here, have been using 18" wheels for the snows. fortunately , living in Southern Arizona, I don't have that problem, and if I did live in snow, my F would stay in the garage.

^^^^Yep, the 225s should be in front, as they are on your car right now. As I recall from long ago, Winter driving is filled with potholes, ice bumps and other impediments to smooth pavement. An 18" tire/wheel combo with the same OD as stock will be much more forgiving to the elements.
