Tire setup, mixing compounds?

Just blew out a set of rear tires after doing a few burnouts back to back, came across a set of Sport Cup 2s from a local listing in a 305/30/20 and had to pull the trigger.

My question is, I'm running PS4S's in the OEM size up front and wanted to mount these Cup 2s in the rear but I know there's a pretty big difference in compound.

Will I still be okay having PS4S's up front and SC2's in the rear?

BTW - I'm not too concerned with driving in the rain so please spare me the reminders about how terrible the SC2's are in the rain

You will likely have more under-steer at the limit when cornering, but better grip in the rear for cornering and acceleration

325 rear??... Does it cause any problems with rubbing, clearance, speedometer, clocked miles, etc? But mostly rubbing? I am thinking going 305 as the stock is 295 using the same stock wheels. No issues?
