Default anyone ever run lower profile on fronts

I traded my welds for some pacers that were the same front and rear.. I liked the skinny front look but not practical for my driving... but now the front run bad..
Would it look bad to run lower profile in the front?

I don't understand what your saying. What are pacers ? What do you mean " the front run bad" ?

Be as descriptive as possible so we can give the best advice.

If you're daily driving this car, I would advise to stick with a decent size tire. The smaller the tire less comfortable the ride will be. If you do not care about the ride quality, go for it. Cars are all about you experimenting, screwing up, and figuring out what you really like by experience. I'm running a Nitto 555 255/40R17 on all four, and I love them. Ride quality is pretty nice.

I ran with a 205/40R17 on my Cobalt and I hated every mile. Now I'm running with a 215/50R17 and I LOVE the ride quality.

But now I'm really confused lol.

Here's what I'm running on my front, 17×9 Cobra Rs with 245/35-17s. My car is lowered about an inch and I have no issues with rubbing. And to me, it looks good.

Maybe post up a pic of the car with the new rims, I'd be curious to see the new look.

I'm running the Ford Racing "B" springs, so 3/4 and inch up front and 1/2. I think it's a perfect lower (IMHO), but recently I've noticed that I rub when I brake and turn..... perhaps it's the POS moog struts I have on...... I"m not sure at the moment. I also have not rolled my fenders. Hope that helps!
