Staggered rallye wheel idea? w/ 15x7 & 8?

Has anyone done this before? If so, any pics? im able to do this but, am unsure whether or not i should go 8 all the way or 7's up front. Would it give any significant look?

I got 7's up front, 8's in rear. Tires are 215 70 up front, 275 60 out back. Dropped 5/7. IMO this is the perfect combo for a nice subtle rake. Truck is in my avatar.

Here is my stock height truck with 255/70R15's (29.04 inches high) on 15 x 8 Rallys on all 4 corners with no clearance or rubbing problems and I really like the way they fill in the wheelwells.

Re: Staggered rallye wheel idea? w/ 15x7 & 8?

My rollers (front tires are too small) ..

15x8 (R) 255/70/15 may pops ..
15x6.5 (F) 205/65/15 if I recall .. just some spares I had around (I would put a little more tire on them if I planned to run it this way)

2.5" spindles, Original SB springs with a BB and one turn cut out.
6" drop springs in it here, going lower soon.

I have another set of wheels going on soon and the stance will completely change.

Mine has 7's on front , 8's on back , lowered a bit. Stock height looks good all eights , lowered needs staggered, just another opinion - lets see a picture.
