I don't know if this helps much since it's on a F@%D, but this truck was at a show a few weeks back.

Re: Anybody running 15" tires on Front and 16" tires on back? Pics?
Any and all pics help. I'm kicking some ideas around. The Circuit Rider had 2" drop coils and 2" spindles on front with 285x60x16" Goodyear tires on TT II's (4.5BS)... with this combo I had rubbing issues. So I put stock springs back on front and left the spindles. I have been given sound advice to go with 16x7 wheels and lower profiles tires up front. This will tuck the tire back in and give me reqired space that I then can re-install the 2: lowering springs. Just wondering what 15x16 tire combo would look.

Re: Anybody running 15" tires on Front and 16" tires on back? Pics?
Pesonally, I think a 15/16 looks good. Afew years back, I used to see alot of cars run 14/15 combos. I think anytime an offset combo looks odd is with more than 1" diameter difference. I say this mainly referring to the 14 -18" varieties. Alot of folks run 18/20 and 20/22 combos that don't look odd. What I'm mainly getting at is say a 15/17 combo. I've never thought that looked right.
A 15/16 combo would look great and you would have many more tire choices. The biggest problem with 16" wheels is available tire choices. I know for a fact, if you wanted to go with a BFG T/A Radial, you could run the 285/60/16 rear with a 235/70/15 tire on a 15x7 rim. I've actually considered this combo on my truck. Are you willing to sell your other two 16x8's?

If I go this route yes I would like to sell the TT II's along with the tires (285x60x16). I could then put the 2" drop springs back on the front along with the 2" drop spindles that I already have and have the lines that I am looking for.

Any other pics of 15/16 wheel combos? I am 95% sure this is the way I will be going. The more I drive the Circuit Rider the more I find the 16x8 front tires/wheels not very driver friendly.
