Make sure those babies are the dome type wheel centers, rather than the
truncated cone type. The dome types should fit the front wheels with the
disc brakes, the cone type won't.

If you can only find three dome shaped wheels, and four cone shaped wheels, that could work. Put the four cones on the rear, two domes on the front, and a dome for a spare.
It might look a little goofy without wheel covers, and I don't know if there is a type of wheel cover that would fit both types of wheel. You might end up with a different look front to back, but you would be running on 16" wheels.
