Here is mine with a similar setup although my fronts are still a tad wide, Also 17 inch wheels but you get the idea. 275/50-17 out back and 255/50-17 up front. The front wheels are 17x8 with a 4.5 inch backspace and 17x9.5 with a 5.5 inch backspace.

Also the rear is dropped 3 inches, the front is stock height. Still waiting to decide what route I want to go on the drop.

On the 15 inch wheel it really depends on how wide your wheel is but a 225/70 would be narrow on these trucks. Just remember the amount of load on the front tires. That was the smallest size I saw in a quick search that was able to handle the load for a truck.
