16" wheels - '65 coupe

I'm looking at doing 16x7's in the front and 16x8's in the rear. The suspension (when it gets here) will be the grab-a-track 1" front lower with standard height rear for a little rake. I want to go 16x7 up from and 16x8 in the rear with TTII's. Any input on whether this is a feasible combination? Also, what size tires are you guys running up front and in the rear? I'm going to wait until the suspension is in so I can figure out how much of a gap I want to go with in the fender well.
 
I was running 16x8s on my 70 with 4.5" backspacing. I had some trouble with the upper control arms rubbing at full lock of the steering wheel, just ground down the arms a bit. Tires were 245/50/16 for me, not sure but might be a bit large for yours. Probably like a 225 series would fit well. :shrug:
