Mixing tyre makes and wheel sizes

[Quintaint]

I use a MR2 on track with standard staggered wheels and Toyo T1R's. The time has come for new tyres so for more choice I'm upgrading to 16" wheels with 205/45/16 fronts and 225/45/16 rears. This gives me a choice of Yokohama AD08R's, Toyo R888R's or Nankang AR-1's. However if I were to mix makes I'd get an additional choice of Kumho V70A, Federal 595 RS-R, Toyo R1-R,Nankang NS-2R on the front and Yokohama A052 or Dunlop DZ03G on the rear.

Has anyone tried mixed makes with any success? Also what about using different wheel sizes? With 17's on the rear I'd need 225/40/17 or 235/40/17.

Thanks Guys. I'm probably going for AD08R's on 16" Work Meisters. If Mrs Q will let me...
