245/35/18Front and 275/35/18rear on FD?

Does anyone have any pics of these tire sizes on an FD? I want to make sure the difference in sidewall sizes isnt horribly noticable, and if it is it doesnt look stupid.

I realize the rear is taller than the front, but I am attempting to gear it slightly taller, and the difference between 275/35 and 275/30 is being slightly taller than stock, or slightly shorter than stock, and I really dont want to make the gearing any shorter than it is given the traction problems already. 245 is the widest I can go up front, and 275 is the widest I can go out back given my wheels. I also have MAJOR traction problems out back given my HP, so reducing the rear tire width is NOT an option. So please no "you should run a wider/shorter tire" Comments please

Thanks everyone

Ptrhahn runs 255/35 and 275/35, quite a few pics of his car on here. GoodfellasFD3S runs 245/40 and 275/40 (17 obviously), several pics of his car too. It will look fine.
