Default RE-11 front Starspec rear an issue?

My buddy has 4, 225-45-17 RE-11's which he is going to sell to me dirt cheap. They didnt fit well on his car. I am thinking of buying them as extra sets when my fronts wear out.

Will it unbalance or hurt performance if i run an re-11 front and starspec rear? I am at a pretty big stagger so I doubt ill notice. Even when its time to replace the rear i want to stick to the starspec because they do not make anything that wide Re-11. The 265 wide really helps keep traction with my supercharger so im not going any narrower on rear.

Those two tires are very similar in performance. I don't see any issues but I would say to find out where the limits are with the tires. You don't want to be suprised when you need the car to handle its best.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
