STLBOX has done it with 15x7's in front and rubbed. He was running much larger tires tho. Here is a pic from another post, hope he doesn't mind.



In my opinion, if you're gonna run 8's in the back you might as well run them in the front, as all the rubbing issues are in the back due to the suspension design. It would be cool to run 15x8 in the front and stagger the diameters, I almost did that myself.

Also, I don't think you'll rub unless you also have rear spacers. I have 15x8 501's all around, 195/50/15 tires (so same outer diameter as yours) and 10mm spacers rear, and I don't rub (also fenders are a tad rolled...) So you should have no problem.
