Front wheels - anyone go with 15x8's and 255x60 series tires?

[DPL]

I'm trying to figure out what size wheel and tire for the front of my 68 super bee.  For the rears, I am making sure the tire fills the wheel well (15x8, 3 3/4 offset, 275x60 series tire). 

I'm thinking about trying to do the same thing on the front, only a slightly skinnier tire?

I've looked for examples of this on the web but can't really find anything similar.  Anyone have this setup or have an opinion on this?

I want that low mean look while still keeping an original look with the magnum 500's.

As always, thanks in advance!

Put 255 60s on the front and it will look like a beach buggy.

225-70, 235-60 or 245-60 is the way to go.

255/60's here. Sorry, the only decent pic I can find of them is a photo-chop, where I was playing with grille ideas.

i had 255/60/15 on my 15x8's way back when...     i then went to 275/60/15 and it looked a little better.

Hey Rolling Thunder, do you mean you put 275x60's on the front?

Yeah 471, I have 225x70 on the front of my charger and a 3 1/4 offset wheel and it is a very good look.  I just was wanting to try something different on my Bee - something that would give the car a meaner more aggressive look if it was slung down low.
