1979 f150 wheels

i have a 79' f150 4x2 longbed and i was wondering what would be the ideal rim to fit under the fenders, and what would be the widest wheel to go under the fender.

i'd stick with the 15 rims and for tire width get whatever you want to afford.

79,
It may not be the ideal rim and tire combo, But I am going with 15x8's on the front with a 275/60-15 and 15x10's on the rear with 325/50-15 drag radials. Not sure if this helps you or not
