It will look very stage, wider tire in front. If you want to have wider tire, change the 4 tires. with that, will be also easier for tire rotation.

This is the only time you would want wider wheels on the front. Drag racing. Traction is horrible in wet/snow/dirt.

Since my bare bones base Vibe does not have ABS, I was toying with the thought of using taller & wider rears, just for the Street Machine image. Probably not a good idea though, as it would screw up cornering balance and preclude tire rotation...
