Tyre rating question

Quick question on tyres then, I recently bought 2 Michelin pilot sport 3's with a load rating of 87W. I've decided to get another 2 for the rear but the only ones available at such a good price are 83V. Would it hurt having the different ratings or will I not even notice it?

These are the only ones available http://www.tyre-universe.co.uk/michelin-pilot-sport-3-205-45-r16-83v-normal-tyre.html

And these are the ones up front http://www.tyre-universe.co.uk/michelin-pilot-sport-3-205-45-zr16-87w-el-normal-tyre.html

I'm not sure if I should just wait till they're in stock, or to pay the extra and buy the same rating but somewhere else, or just go with the 2 different ratings.

No where else seems to come close to the price on tyre universe.
 
Load rating will make a slight difference to sidewall stiffness.

Speed rating is for 10 minutes at 149 mph as far as I know.

So don't do that.

The engine will probably let go before the tyre does then lol ;).

I guess a slight difference in stiffness doesn't matter too much, not even sure I would notice it myself. Considering I'm running with parada spec 3 on the rear and ps3 on the front so there's a difference there already.

I'll think about it for a day or 2. Knowing my luck there will be some of the 87W's after I've ordered lol.
