It will have an effect on the handling of the machine, and also affect the shape of the tyre if you run a size not specified for the rim.

It may or may not be fine, what is the rim measurements?

front being an 80 instead of a 70 may make it rub on the mudguard or something as it is 10% taller?
I would imagine it would effect the handling a bit too tho maybe slower turning.
can you not send them back and get the right ones as you will be stuck with the wrong front for ages otherwise or a waste of money if you fit it and don't like the way it rides.

Supermoto, mudguard is missions away Thumbs Up

I personally, would just swap em. I go from 180/55 17 to 190/50 17 and 110/70 17 to 120/60 17 all the time and never really notice Laughing Given the fact it will be on the back wheel more than the front, you should be ok Wink

I'd run it with them, the slightly higher sidewall means stuff all really. People go 120 70 to 120 60 all the time.

The rear looks to be a 160. Still would.
