Staggered wheels?

Okay, so I don't know the proper term for this, other than staggered, which to me has always meant wider tires (ex: 15x7 and 15x8).

But I am looking for anyone that is running TALLER rear wheels, not wider. Is anyone running 14s up front and 15s in the rear? 15s and 16s?

Is anyone running taller AND wider in the rear? Maybe a 15x7 up front and a 16x8-9 in the rear?

I love the look on old hot rods, and I ran a staggered set up on my Japanese MR2 (15x9 front with 16x10 rear) and I am curious how it would look on our FBs.

I was thinking of doing this with my rota rb set up. Only thing that kept me from doing it is that I have 205/50/15's up front, and any tire I ran on a 16 in the rear would have a much shorter side wall- not that it would be terrible, but I felt it would throw off the " look". I really didn't want to real tall tire in the rear since the 225/50/15's already rub like hell.

Gonna just roll the fenders a bit and live with what I got. At least then I can run the coil overs back down and put the car back in the weeds.
