Go wider
Alright my scoot needs new shoes. While I'm at it going to put new wheels. I already have the rear 18x8.5 but need a front one. Definetly going with a 21" but thinking about going also wider to a 3.25..
I changed out my front end for a wide glide and that 2.15 looks scared between those forks.. whatcha think will it look aight? Any Suggestions for tires also..

I would personally put a wider rim and 120 tire on the front, they don't look oversized but provide better grip and contact patch for stopping with better straight line stability/control, just my .02. By the way, I like your Rocker, the inverted front end looks sweet.

I'm waitin for my rear rim to arrive from across the pond but am goin a 260 metz on the rear and a 21 front, I'm stickin with standard width coz I didnt have the coin for a new front end, If money was not an issue I'd go a 130x60x23 like this beauty.... http://www.chopperworks.com.au/
