Default SMALLEST wheels (TT2's) that will fit up front and your opinion?

Hey guys, I'm looking to get rid of my 17x9.5 front Torq Thrust II's and get something like a 16x7, 16x4.5 (if they make them), or maybe a 15x4.5 for the fronts.

Anyone know how narrow they make TT2's in 16" size? Will a 15" rim clear the front brakes? What backspacing is needed to clear the front brakes, etc with a 16x7, 16x4.5 (if made) or a 15x4.5?

Anyone have something similar done? How do you think it'd look? I'm thinking the 17x11 rears would look ok with a 16" rim up front, not so sure about them with a 15" rim up front though.

i always wished they would make a 17x4 up front so you can get the low profile tire look and actually have skinnies on the front with the 17x11 on the back. why would you want to get rid of your 17's to put 16's on the front? if anything you should put 18's on the back.

For me, the height of the rim isn't all that important. I just like the looks of the TT2's and wanted 315 rubber out back. 17x4 fronts would rock, I'd buy a pair.

A smaller diameter will more than likely be impossible with a TT2 with how much the spokes curve inwards and get really close to the caliper . . .
