thats actually not too crazy of a thought... thats been done in racing circles for a long time. For a daily driver, the biggest drawback will be the inability to rotate them... unless you want the wider in the rear for whatever reason... lol.
I was actually going to run a 205 width tire in the front of my old car, and a 185 in the rear, simply because i wanted forward traction, and i could deal with a bit less grip in the rear. But then again, i was more into drag racing.
However, i've seen it done on fwd race cars both auto-x and road course. Allows the rear to have a bit less traction than the front, and rotate easier without needing quite the same thickness anti-roll bar, and aggressive suspension settings. your mileage may vary, but it won't -hurt- perfromance necessarily, unless you actually need the added traction in the rear to make use of the wider rear.
Now, here is the REAL question... WHY are you wanting to do this? are you needing new tires for the street, and only able to come across the different sized tires for the price? If that is the case, the different sized tires will be better and safer than bald ones.. lol. Are you wanting a performance setup, and buying new tires? If thats the case, have you tried racing on tires the same size in 195 treadwidths? do you need more rotation out of the car? what sized anti-rollbar do you have?
There are tuns of questions when you start messing with this.. this is just the tip of the 'berg... hehe.
