Default Question on tire size on staggered setup

Say on AP1 rims with no tires and I'm looking for the best tire size to mount, shouldn't I be looking at both front and rear tires to be the same size in diameter?

example:

16 x 6.5 Front 225/50/16
16 x 7.5 Rear 245/45/16

There's only 0.69% difference in diameter size using 225/50/16 where as there's a 0.79%% difference using 205/55/16 size 5tires when compared to 245/45/16.

The 225/50R16 and 245/45R16 are close enough in diameter that it will not make a difference. Same with the 205/55R16.
