New tires...

I know this sounds really cheap but I can't afford to buy a full set right now. I need to replace my front tires and want to switch from 65's to 60's. I know it would look stupid but will it hurt anything to only switch just the fronts right now and then the other two later??

Nah, it won't hurt anything. In fact quite a few of us (myself included) run a different tire size on the front than on the rear. Keep in mind if you go with a different tire manufacturer than the ones on the rear (or even a different tread), your car might act a little "funny" in wet/snowy weather. The treads would be grabbing the ground differently. It'd be minor though; but in a high speed maneuver it might be enough to send you thru a spin.
