Wide Tires

So a buddy of mine just got new rims and tires for his Toyota Supra.

His old tires on the front wheels are 225/50/R16's which will fit my rims PERFECT.

Unfortunately, he's only got two of those, and the other tires are 245s (not sure about the sidewall or rims size)

the 225/50/R16's are the EXACT same diameter (the difference is less than half a millimeter) as my 205/55/R16s.

Would it look stupid if I put the 225's in the front and left the 205's in the back? They are identical tires to what I have now (Falken Ziex 512's)

He said he'd give me the tires for free.
