Although I never tried, I don't think that I would fit them on the front. My 'gut' tells me that they would upset the suspension and steering characteristics.
If you do run different tyres front to rear you will need to consider what spare(s) (if any) to carry and also any insurance implications.

Thanks for that John, you make good points. I just spotted some 185x14 van tyres which were new and cheap!
I can't help being a cheapskate!
