Hi,
Small tires up front and large tires in the back do not mean that the car will turn worst then a Prius! IT depends on the car’s need... Check out the Ferrari Enzo for example:
FRONT 245/35 ZR19 – REAR 345/35 ZR19 !! And I am pretty sure it handles pretty well

But I agree with you and most of the others that you should not stretch a tire beyond its recommendation. A therefore, I do not suggest going with tires that require rims of 10.5” if you have the stock wheels. ...I won’t !

Too bad I can't find 305's that fit on 10" wheels...
