Ummmmm, any specific reason you would do that? There wouldnt be too much of a difference.

As for pics, just search. The majority of the cars on this board have slips with 205-50-15s on them.

It is one way to counter the understeer of front drive cars is to go staggered tire size.

Buy yourself a set of four 205/50-15 Kumho Ecsta 711s. They are $43 apiece at TireRack.com.

Going with a narrower tire in rear is only done as a last resort, particularly when suspension modifications are limited (i.e. in SCCA Solo-2 Stock class). Ideally, you want to increase grip in front as much as possible before you start taking it away from the rear. Also, this is a common practice with R-compound tires, but it is rarely done with street tires because they lack grip to begin with.
