Default Narrowing stock 16x8 TA rims

I picked up a set of DRs mounted on 5-spoke TA 16x8s last week.
I tried them out this weekend and I like the look.
I'd like to pick up a second set of rims like that and have them narrowed
to run skinnies up front.

Is that even possible?
I'd hear someone here had tried something like that at some point.

Running my hawk rims up front with their big footprint causes
massive overstear when I have the DRs on. Besides, they weigh a lot
and aren't going to help my 60s any.

Once I finish these 26x10.5's off, I'll be looking into that or aftermarket rims.
I bought them used (and cheap), I figure they'll last me the season.

(I use my Firehawk rims with non-DRs on the street)

I think 315s will work nicely for this setup.
