Default tire size for rims???

I have an 89 GT that I'm workin on and I plan on getting 15x8 draglites for the back and 15x7 for the front. I know nothing about tire sizes, but I heard 275/50/15 is a good size for the rear. My question is what size tire should I get for the front on the 15x7's if I want the tires to be the same height/be the same size/look the same as the rear tires. Also any good brand/style suggestions. It will only be driven in nice weather and only as a street car/d.d. Thanks

Thanks - Matt how do you like that setup? It's hard to tell from your sig cause it's a side view.
