16' slicks & 20s please read
Will it be okay to make a pass with 16' Hoosiers slicks on the rear and 20s up front for now until I get my skinnies?

I wouldn't do it. Driving with Bias-Ply Slicks in the back and radials up front can make the car extremely unstable....especially at high speeds. Not a good idea!

I'd be okay with radial skinnies but you might not like how the car handles with slicks in the back and stock 20x8s up front.
Have you run slicks before? When you run 'em down between 10-15 psi you can get a bit of "sway" in the back and that takes a little getting used to. The sway might be more intense with stock 20's up front.
