Well, IMO, 15s on the front won't be enough if you run the Bridgestone 050As. Only MY opinion.
There are a bunch of folks here who'll tell you 20s on the rear aren't enough, but that's what I went with. I wanted the look on the front to be a close match to that of the rear and wanted to be flush on the rear. No poke.
I sometimes think I could have gone with 25s on the rear but then I'd want 25s on the front. I was worried that I would have rubbing issues if I did that.

Is there any disadvantage to having the same size spacers in the front and the back? Your ride looks really nice I might go with the 20/20 lol no rubbing?

I can't answer that for you. Maybe someone else is able.

No rubbing on the front on mine at all. I also can't remember the last time I scraped anything on the underside due to the drop of the Swifts. I do take care over things that I think might be an issue, but I rarely drag anything. Better than I ever expected it to be. I thought I'd be hitting something everywhere I went. The ride on Swifts is so superior to the ride on the stock springs. Best mod I've done. (it is the only mod I've done, however)
You won't look back.

I've been looking at some of the other pics you posted in other threads too, I'm really feelin the 20s in the front now lol, they look really nice. I'm definitely really excited about this! I am a little worried about my FI exhaust cans, I'll just have to be extra careful...

I'm still running the stock exhaust so I can't comment there.

The 20s up front were a no brainer for me. Picking the rears were what beat me up. I bought a single set of the 20s first and tried them on the rear to see if I liked them. I did, so I bought a second pair.
So, if you're thinking about 20s up front now and can't make your mind up around the rears, you might try doing what I did. Buy ONE pair and try them out. I made sure I had an alignment done first though. I didn't want any change in the camber later to mess with my test. The key is you get what you know you want for sure for two wheels. Once you mount them, you can't return them.
