I don't think there is anything wrong with using 16s in the front. I was just looking at tirerack and there seems to be a halfway decent variety of tires in 16", you might even be able to find the same model tire in both wheel sizes.

I like the factory rally's presonally. But think the torque thrusts look great on any muscle car.

What back spacing will you run on them wheels?
I want to fit the same to width to a 66 Chevelle but in 17's with 245/40 up front and 285/40 on the back
