Help me with tire sizes

hey guys, havent been on in a while finally got internet at the house.

my 72 has 15" keystone classics on it now with skinny tires in the front and 255/60s on the back. now what i want to do is get the 5" lowering springs for the rear because my front is slammed because of old weak springs and my headers scrape alot but im going to get heavy duty springs made for the front to keep the drop but maybe bring it up a little.

i have the wheels cragar quick trick that i want to put on my truck after winter, i want to get them sandblasted and painted black.

the front are 15x8.5 im pretty sure and the back are 15x10

im 18 years old so i want the widest rear tires i can get but i dont want the front to be too skinny

please help with what tire sizes i should get to make my truck look like a hot rod...pics would also be appreciated

thanks guys!

Re: Help me with tire sizes

Your best move is to go to a tire place and tell them what rims you have and have them show you some tires. That would be better answer to your question than you could get here.
