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.
 
Everyone will tell you to go with a 17'' rim because of the upper ball joint design on these cars a 16'' rim may rub while a 15'' will slip under it and a 17'' will go over the ball joint to allow for more backspacing and bigger tires. I know you can make it work, but if you have the money the 17" rim will be easier and trouble-free to put on. If you don't want to go with a 17, try to find someone with a good 16" rim setup and I'm sure they can help you more than I have.
