295/50/15 rear, what 195/??/15 looks best on front

1970 442....I'm going with a 15x10 5.5 BS wheel for the rear with a 295/50/15 tire on it.
I whant a 195 for the front, on a 15x7 wheel. What 195 profile will look best with the 295/60/15 rear?
im an old guy who likes the wide rear tire and skinny front. I know, not for everyone lol.
thanks

Just buy the mickey thompson front runners I run 26 x 6 on a 15 x 3.5 rim. On the rear I have 275 60 15 on a 15x8 . I did have 275 60 15's on a 15x10 but those wheels are for my slicks . But I prefer the look of the 275 60 15 on a 15x10. ( Second pic)

What's readily available in 195s that are recommended for 7 inch rim width are going to be very low profile...

I have 15 x 7s on front as well, went all out to try to locate the narrowest tire for my 69s front end as well as close to factory height and light weight. I settled on 205 70 15s Firestone All Season. They are great ! My car has a pretty significant contrast in width front to back with 235 60 15s on 15 x 8s for rear. The 205s will look like half of your rear tire width. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...artnum=07TR5AS
