Front and Rear Tire combination Question

I was wondering if someone can explain to me the pro's and cons of running 245 45 ZR16 in the back and 225 50 ZR16 in the front. They are Pirelli P 7000 Super Sports. Thanks and i did a search the answers were vague and not specific.

I would run 245/45/16 on front and back if the car is not lowered. They will clear just fine with stock shocks and springs.

like sleepr1 said, you'll notice a bit more understeer, but you can get on the gas faster coming out of a corner.
