15x8 Wheel and tire combination

Hey all,
I have the "rally" style wheels that Chevy used on the 1/2 ton pickups from 73-87. They are a 15x8 size wheel. I am trying to find a good street tire for them. I like the BF Goodrich T/A radials. The old tires that were on these rims were a 235 60 R 15 Hoosier....if memory serves me correct. I had the old tires removed so I could media blast and powder coat the rims. I lost the piece of paper I wrote the tire size on so now I am trying to see what tire looks good on that 8 inch rim. The local tire store said the best tire would be a Pathfinder tire but it is 30 x 9.5. I have 2" drop spindles up front and 3" drop coils in the rear. The 30 inch tire lifts the truck back up to where it was originally when it left the factory. I want to enhance the lowered suspension with a complementary tire. What they mounted for me are more like off-road tires with a really aggressive tread.

Would like to see some examples of some nice weekend street cruising combos.
