Since there are very limited styles of front wheels for your application, I would try to find both a front wheel and back wheel(s) that are compatible with each other. The standard 19" wheel could be replaced with a 21" easily (used in the XLC models) but the choice for 15" rear wheels with proper dimensions is virtually nonexistent. 16, 17 & 18" are readily available with the proper lug pattern (4X4.25 or 108mm) & 35mm backspacing on a 7" wide wheel.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ! Start searching !!

So the rear sizes can be changed and still fit up under those rear fenders ?

Wheel sizes (YES) but keep tire sizes (diameter) the same. Look at a tire chart for various options.

Remember when increasing wheel diameter the sidewall of the tire is reduced by the increase in rim diameter.

Lack of a large sidewall will diminish the ride quality due to to less sidewall to flex.

Same air pressure applies (20psi).
