Track Tire (Mixing) Question

Track Tire (Mixing) Question
Need some advice. I have a DE coming up and I'm trying to stretch my tire budget. Here is what I have:
225 OEM Bridgestone S-02
Mounted on AP1 OEM rear wheels
60%ish treadlife
255 Kumho RT615
Mounted on custom 17" Kodiak wheels (made to AP2 rear size/offsets)
50%ish treadlife
I've run both tire types on the track before, just not at the same time. Other than looking like a dork on the track, can I run the mixed F/R 225/255 setup on the wheels listed without issue? I don't have any other suspension mods.
EDIT: Just a thought...will the AP1 rear wheels clear the brakes on the front? I'll find out in a few minutes I guess

UPDATE: Never mind. I should have known better that the rear AP1 wheels wouldn't fit on the front. The hub opening is too small on the rear wheels. Looks like I'll need to port an extra set of rear wheels to the track.

Thanks for the feedback.
Hmmm...I still have time to take the wheels to a shop. Anyone know what kind of shops might be able to help? I doubt any general automotive shops will be able to help. Machine shop?

You can fit 225s to the front rims for sure. In my case, however, I'm trying to avoid spending money on tires by using what I have on hand.
In general, having 2 sets of rear AP1 wheels (bored out to fit the front hubs) would be a relatively inexpensive path to running a non-staggered setup.
