Bigger tires on rear?

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, and I wanted to ask around to see if this is a stupid idea...
Given the shape of the del Sol, has anyone ever thought about putting larger wheels on the rear? Like the S2000, Boxter, Corvette,...
Nothing crazy, just like maybe 15's in front and 16's in back? I was thinking size the tires correctly for the spedo and stuff on the fronts, but then maybe bigger rims and wider tires in the rear.
--or would that just look stupid?
I know usually you go big in back for a RWD, but maybe it'd look cool.
Anyone got picts of what it'll look like?
In case anyone's interested, I've got a '94 del Sol VTEC with 203K miles on it. 2nd clutch, everything's stock. I'm not so much into pimping. I figure 500 Honda engineers probably know what their doing when they do up a car.
Still purrs like a kitten, even at 8Krpm and 200K miles. I still wind it up every day. I've got some rust in the usual spots, that needs attention real soon.

would seem kind of silly to me because your drive wheels are up front.

If you did go with bigger/wider tires in the rear it would be purely ascetic since the drive wheels are up front. It would look pretty cool but I'm all for function over form. In the end it's your car so it's your call.
