The fronts will be a bit taller and narrower than the rears. A great site
for measuring tire sizes is http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html. Plug
in the size of your front tire as the "stock" and use the rear tire as the
"New". It'll show you in numbers and a rough graphic the differences in
height and width. If you change the aspect ratios around, 60's on the front
and 70's on the rear, it might look better overall.
The site will also tell you how much your speedo will be off from a stock to
new tire sizes.
