Yes it is safe to run them! But are the styles the same? I don't think they are!

The different size tire hights might mess with you ABS but that's it.

Make sure the tire heights are as close as possible front to rear or you'll have problems with the ABS and possibly TCS. It'll look kind of odd I think

That is what I have on my car right now. 17x9 SS wheels in the back on nittos and some 16x8 same style up front. They have worked fine for me so far.
