I would daily with a pair of 7.5's on the front and the 9.75's on the back and drift on the other pair of 7.5's just to give you better grip on the road

basically you want to drift with equal tyres all round or wider on the rear

having wider on the front and skinny rubbish tyres on the rear will give a poor handling car.you will just spin out a lot.

or do as you say drift on the 9.75's

I use 215 40's up front on a 9" rim and 225 45 on the back with 9 or 9.5" rims

If I was you I would look to getting some nicer wider front rims and use all your FWD spec 7.5's as drift rims.
