Tire Question - Stretch

Ive got the keskin kt1's

16x9R et15
16x7.5F et35

I have 205/45/16 Toyo proxes t1r in the front
215/40/17 proxes t1r in the rear.

The fronts are pretty much out of tread.

Can I swap my 215 tires to the front? Cause if I can im going to put the t1r's with full tread in the front and buy Falken 512's or other tires (what do you recommend?) for the rears.

My stance isnt really low, i dont have coilovers, it looks pretty good the way it is though and I dont plan on buying coilovers anytime soon. I just have Hsport springs & camber plates in the front, theres like a finger wheel gap in the rear so I was thinking of getting fatter tires since I wont need to tuck them in.

I guess my dilemma is since my ride height isnt super low, I still have the ability to run fat tires or to run a stretch.

I'll take some pics tommorow, itll help you guys out more.
