From the looks of it, the rears are marked with 126 55, and the fronts are marked with 124 51, I'm assuming that's what gives the wheels the different sizes?
I now have the wheels back in the original configuration, but now I'm wondering if this is actually a valid setup for this car in the first place ( previous owner put these wheels on ), and maybe this is the root of my steering wheel shake?

So, you have correctly sized wheels - 7x17 front, 8.5x17 rear. You don’t have correctly sized tires on them. Should be something like 205/50x17 front and 255/40x17 rear.
Not saying that has a damn thing to do with the vibration you’re dealing with, but it does explain what you saw when you swapped front for rear.
