more tyre woes

my 13" rims on my mnr are 6" wide at fronts and 8" wide on rears i have bought some khumo 235/45/13 for the rears and i had 2x new yoko a048's in soft compound at 205/60/13 which i was going to use on the fronts but the difference in size between them is massive.
i am consiering selling the yokos and buying something closer to what i need! i have seen 215/50/13 but will they be ok on a 6" rim and will it be too wide for front tyres?

215 is fine as a front tire most escorts mk1 /2 lads fit 215 /45/13 dunlop cr311 tarmack rally tyre r08 i just got 4 of them and there very very sticky like bubble gum but on a 6 inch rim is a bit small better on a 8inch rim as in pic also 175/5013 will fit mint on a 6 or a 7 inch rim eg ao48r : mp tyres and rims comp ml 8in.

CR311's are fantastic tyres, we rally on them. 08 compound is the hard compound believe it or not. We used to use x22 super soft compound on our bike engined Mini rally car, now they really are sticky!

the thing is you can only use the r08mid comp on the road as it has the e mark and softer comps do not don't fall in to the trap of going s soft as it will not be road legal
