For a while I ran 205/65R15 on turbo alloys in the front and 185R14 in the rear on stock steel wheels (long story). Running different size tires front and rear will make the car handle strangely. The difference in size you're talking about isn't very large - but you may notice the car doesn't respond to the steering as predictably as it would with 4 tires of the same size.
