Tire size to go with 275/60/15

I'm just working a rolling chassis right now so I don't have a body to go by. I ordered some 15x8s for the front and 15x10s for the rear, already got the fronts but the rear are on back order, I've decided for sure on a 275/60/15 bfg ta's for either the front or rear so im either looking for something at least as tall and wider than that if I put them on the front or something a little smaller that would look good on a 15x8 but not be to small. I have 2" modular spindles and 3" drop springs for the rear.
