Okey Dokey everbody.  Here comes another tire wheel question.  I'm

looking for educated opinions concerning the use of different size wheel

combinations for the front/back of my Miata.



I currently have the stylebar/timing/de-fanging accomplished and have

lots more planned for the future including springs/shocks/swaybar combo

(probably from MM marketing or MRoadster) which will lower the car ~1

inch.



I would like to put TSW Concept 1 wheels on the car and would like to

use 15X7 in front and 16X7.5 in the rear.  I used to have a similar

setup on my 944 Turbo (thank God it's gone) and I liked the way it

looked.  It actually had the same height wheels but different widths,

but the TSW's don't come that way.  



Have any of you done this?  What does it look like and what size tires. 

I don't want the 1970 "jacked up look".  And yes, I've been following

the recent tire/wheel discussion and did'nt see the info I am seeking.  



Also, what is the max width you can put on the car without the fronts

contacting the fender?



Thanks in advance.
