New post here and I'm sure this has already been covered in many other threads, but..

1985 Chevy 2wd shortbed. All original Custom Deluxe w/ 56000 miles. getting ready to begin upgrades (slowly) and want to start with tires/wheels. My teenage son will be driving and we want to stay relatively conservative/classic look, but improve ride, stance and handling over the narrow steel wheels that are on currently. Thinking about 15x8 and 255 width tires, but need some advice on offset, backspacing, spacers etc. to get wheels/tires more flush with body sides for the proper look.
