Well it usually is a good idea to run taller tires in the front, the geometry of the frame is made to run that way. I run a front tire 3 inches taller than the rear and it handles a lot better than when I ran a 3 inch taller rear tire.

so does tht mean tht the front end will be lower than the rear....eventually i will get 18'' tires in the rear but im not sure when.....but would it be bad to use the same tire height for a little while.....
