wheel/tire width help

[AdrenilineCrash]

so i am wondering is it beneficial and detremental to handling to have wider wheels up front than in the back? (btw, i have FWD). if it doesnt hurt handling a lot wouldnt it be better to put say, 8.5s up front and 7s in the back? up front width allows better traction and in the back lack of width reduces weight. thanks for help!

I doubt the difference would make up for the lurky looks. Lighter? From a 1½" difference in tire width? maybe ten pounds?
