Another option to keep in the back of your mind: Staggered wheel sizes. For example, 15x6 on the front, and 16x7 on the rear. I saw that once, and I liked the look and stance. That also allows you to lower the front about 1/2" without lowering the suspension or buying raised spindle struts. If I didn't already have a set of 16x7 on all 4 corners, I would try this setup. I might anyway, but then I'll need 15x6 and 16x7 wheels with the same finish. Unfortunately, the black/silver parts are different.

Thanks Paul and CBA for the recommendations. I may need to bite the bullet and go with the shorter fronts at some point.

If the more pedestrian sizes are not too dull for this thread, an alternative to the P6000 in the factory 195/65 and 215/60 would also be a treat.
