I just ordered 15x8 and 15x3.5 ,seems to be the best fit, even with an eight rear you can still use a 275 tire on the back which is just about as wide as you want comfortably with a little rolling of the inner fender.I bought mickey t drag radials for tires seem pretty sweet.

I run a 15x10 and 275/60/15 mickey thompsons. It requiresa good amount ofbeating of the inner fenderwell but looks realy good. A lot better then a 15x8 rim.
