15" gold crosslace up front and 16" out back?

I need bigger tires out back for the 350 im putting in my t/a and im torn between keeping the crosslace or switching to prostars. My question is if anyone has run the smaller 15" crosslace in front and the bigger 16" gta crosslace in the rear cause I haven't found any pics of this. Either this combo or I will be buying a pair of 15x10 prostars and painting the center gold and keeping the chrome lip to tie in. Just trying to match my second gen hood bird and wanna keep the theme. Opinions are much appreciated.

You could, but with the limited size selection for 16s, there is really no point.

Just go with the gold centered 15s you mentioned.

Really? It's super hard to find a 15" tire if your not buying new. Here at least.

I was gonna buy new street slicks off summit and with a 15" rim the options for tires are greater then the 16". The biggest id be able to squeeze on the 16" is 295 which isn't the worst lol
