Having a hard time finding anything definitive.

I ran 215/70's on the front on 6.5" van rallies, and 255/70's on the rear on an 8" wheel (on rally wheels). When I put the 8.5" slots on, I did the 245/60 on the front and 255/70 on the rear.

This is what I like as well. For now I have the 245/60's up front with 255/70's out back but will change to the 275/60's when the rears wear out.

You may need to run a 7" ralley up front with your 5/7 drop.
I like 215/70's and 275/60's.

5" drop may make the 8" wheel too close to the fender lip.

Here's my old burb with 7" and 8" ralleys.

FWIW, my 15x8.5 slots are clearing with very minor rubbing on the inside with a 6/8 drop.

Here is my 79 with a 2/3 drop atm. 255/60s on eights up front, 275/60s on tens out back. soon I will be 41/2 front on 255/60s and 6 back on295/50s. I have plenty of room to spare. But here is my buddies 86 with a 5/7 drop running 7" all around and 235/75s. Hes gonna go eights out back but even with 7s on front the newer style does seem alittle tight. Here is his link on here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=532095
And a couple pics of mine.

Re: 15" Rally tire Size
 
Little update: thinking about keeping the Weld Prostars that are on it for now. I believe the fronts are 15x7 and the rears are 15x8's. Right now, the rear tire is a 275/60. What are your recommendations for the 7" fronts?

Re: 15" Rally tire Size
 
On a 7" wheel, I would look at 225/70 or 235/70. See what the height is.
