You wont have problem, but watch the tyre wear, if tyres are not balanced you will see a part of the tyre wear quicker, this is usually the heaviest part of rim and tyre pairing.
It is rare to get a tyre rim combination not requiring balancing after fitting, often the balance may only be out by 10-20grams and most will never notice an issue.
However go over that and you will definitely feel it because an out of balance rim/tyre combination causes vibration.
Each to his own, I also fit my own tyres and always balance front and rear.
