Who's running 15x8 wheels up front and what tires?

With a 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 1 1/2 coils cut and 15x8 rally wheels, what tire can I run with no problem? I'd really like to run the 15x8 wheels as I already have 5 of them but my problem seemd to be what size tire. I really need some help on this one. Pics if you have them too. Thanks all.

I was running a set of 275/60R15s on mine with a 15X7 inch wheel but I only had a 4.5 inch drop. I think what you described is a 5.5 inch drop. I would go whit a thinner tire than 275.
