    If they are Ford wires the 17" are '33-'34 and the 16" are '35.

    I would run the 16's on the rear with a larger tyre, 7.50 always looks good with the 17's on the front.
    Or look for 2 more 16" wires, they are always around.

    I just went through this with my project. I'm using 15"/16" wheels and the wide whites are 3" in the rear and 2 1/4" in the front. They look right... 205/15's up front and 235/16's out back. Hope this helps....
