If you run the wider tire in the front and the narrower one in the rear it will improve cornering. Running more rubber in the rear on a FWD car will promote understeer, something most people try to overcome by using big rear anti-roll bars.

Personally, I'd run the same size wheel and tire front and rear on a Yaris. That way you can easily rotate the tires to increase longevity.
