'66 F-100 Wheel Set-up

I'm working on my first project truck, a '66 F-100, and came across a set of Classic Cragar's in my local trading post that i'm considering picking up. Can anyone tell me what kind of Rim and Tire sizes i can use on this truck. The rims i'm looking at are 15x8 fronts and 15x10 rear, or i can get 4 15x8's if the 10's are to much. What tire size would these rims hold? Thanks for the help.

they have to be 5 on 5 1/2. some people will try to tell you that a chevelle wheel or a chevy truck wheel will fit a ford truck. it wont fit. i tried it a couple years ago. i have 15 x 8 on my 65 with 275 60's on the rear and it clears but i dont know if it will clear when i have a load on it. a 15x 10 should fit with the same tire but i cant swear to it. i saw a guy with a 15x 10 with a 305 50 tire and it cleared but i dont know how. depends on how much weight you want to carry in the rear and how good your springs are.

Mike, I've got a 67 F100 with 15X10 Creger SS rims on both front and back, with 275/60 tires. Looks good, no fit problems
