you should be fine...the overall diameter is the same because of the larger profile tire in the front and smaller profile tire in the back.

I HATE when people do this. I mean you have to. But I see kids in my town all the time. Rims in the back and steelies in the front. Algayza tails in the rear too. I always ask them why and they just shrug.

it just that your driving condition is nto the same. gripping is going to be off and is not that stable
