what size tires can i run

looking at a 79 short bed and its been lowered the back axel is on top of the springs and the front is as low as the back,ive always wanted one of these trucks with 10 inch rallys on the back and 8 on the front but that probably wont work with it this low will it? what would be the widest and tallest tire and rim combo I can run with this setup?

5/6 drop with 255/60 on 15x8 an 275/60 on 15x10 rear you can go up to 7" drop with a 15x10 an 295/50 tire...also I would go with a 245/60 tire up front an the 15x10s have to have 5" backspace
