1973 Chevy Step Van Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We've been working on this project for the last couple weeks getting it ready for an event and this is the first time we've been working on this type of vehicle. Not sure how it works but I believe I attached images of how it looked when I got it. Didn't look too bad until we started grinding down the body....man...nightmare. Anyways, since I'm writing this post during the build I had a question maybe someone can answer.

I bought 15x8 smoothies for the van. What tire size should I get? Currently I have 235/75/15 on a more narrow wheel (not sure the width) Also, I wanted to lower the vehicle instead of bagging it due to time restraints. Eibach makes springs and rear shackles to lower the vehicle 2" so I'd like to have the stance look good with the wheels/tires. Any help?
