Default Looking for wheels

I have a 1990 LX, non-daily driver, with '04 hubs on the front, and '97 hubs on the rear, and 1 inch lowered springs on the front as well. I would like to get the Darkstar wheels eventually, but I don't wanna drop the $$$ and find out the darn things won't fit. I have M/T ET street radials for 16" wheel that I can put on the rear, and I'm not sure if I need to run 15" or 17" skinnies on the front. Suggestions?

15s up front. There cheaper. I'd sell the sixteen inch radials and get a set of 15s for the back also. The welds are all over craigslist and ebay. But they'll be much easier to find in the very common 15 inch size.

Thanks, Blue. I won't run into problems with 15's hitting the calipers on the front? What offset would I be looking at? I remember the good 'ol days back in the '80s when all this "offset" and "backspacing" crap wasn't an issue, and everything was a 15" wheel. Way easier and idiot-proof.
