Let’s talk wheels and tires for a 68 cuda

So I've been doing a lot of reading here on FABO and it seems I should be able to fit 275 60 15's on the rear of my cuda with my stock springs and everything so long as I get the back spacing right.

Right now I'm running 225 70 15's on the rear with 205 60 15's on the front with 15 x 7" rims with 4" backspacing all the way around, and especially in the rear the wheel wells need to be filled out.

I've done some measuring and it confirms that I should be able to fit 275 60 15's in the rear on a 15 x 8 wheel if I keep the 4" backspacing. I would really like to put them on a 8.5 inch wheel but I feel I'd be pushing my luck with that wide of a rim

My question here is what would be a good front tire to complement the 275 60's in the rear? I plan on keeping the rims 7" in the front because I have manual steering.
