Best Tire/Wheel combos that tuck

What is the best tire/wheel combo that fits nicely just inside the fenders? Oh, and show us pics. I'm trying to figure out what to get when I go to disk brakes (5 lug) 15×6, 7, or 8. Thanks for the help!

Wheels not hard to find as I went to 5 lug all the way around. Disc conversion in the front, 10 bolt Suburban rear. New front wheels are Wheel Vintiques purchased through Summit. The rears are $20pr Craigslist specials.
