I have 15x8 ralleys and 275/60x15 on all 4 corners of my 70 step.
Word to wise...if you don't have power steering, you will not need to go to the gym to work out your arms.

BTW I have plenty of room to go bigger (stock height)....but I don't plan on it...My wimpy arms won't take it.

I know you can get for sure 295/50/15's all the way around, I have them on the rear, and tried on the front and thats with it lowered 3/4, so stock susp should be no problem. I have drums all the way around as well and 8" wheels.
