Cragar SS Wheels on Stock 1968 F100?

I just bought a 1968 Ford F100 short bed and want to run 15" Cragar SS wheels and Comp TA tires. The truck is bone stock. I'm looking for a 60s hot rod look. What's the biggest front and rear 15" wheel and tire combo I can run on this truck without modifications or rubbing? Offset? Thanks for the help!

I have 245/60/15 front and 275/60/15 back on my 68 ,i believe 15x8 up front and 15x10 in back . when my tires go i am thinking 275/50/15 will fit and give me more tread width for the back .

Thumbs up tire rim combination

FL. Phil. I have 15"x8" with 275/60 Goodyear Eagle 2 on my 68 short Ranger with no clearance problems. The rims were those white painted steel ones with the triangular holes that I had painted to match the Lunar green color while the truck was being re painted, stainless trim rings and chrome center caps with chrome lug nuts. Real easy to maintain, I am an original owner of this truck. Kenny Nunez

Here is a pic of my '69 with the sweetest wheels known to man,.. and woman.

1969 Ranger / 5.0 EFI / AOD / Dana 60 / Disks from '77 / Cragar S/S

I had these wheels on my '57 Styleside running 235/75/15 - front and 285/70/15 in the rear. When I pulled them from my '57 and installed them on my '69. The wheels fit perfectly.. But I didn't want that huge of a tire in the rear on the '69. So I'm currently running 235/75/15 all the way around on 15x7 Cragar S/S. Let me know what you think.
