8'' rim in front

I just bought a set of cragar ss 15x8 with 4.5'' backspace for cheap. They fit the rear perfect but is anyone running a 15x8 on the front? If so what size tire? I like the big and little look and was going to run 235x60 in the back and looking for something smaller for the front. Should I just wait for a 15x6 rim to show up or run the 15x8 in front. Thanks

They will probably fit but you may or may not rub your sway bar (if you have one) on a tight turn?

No swaybar. I bolted up the rim without tire, looks good to the inside. It just seems to stick out toward the fender lip more then I'de like.

That wouldn't be any different than a 7 inch wide wheel with a 0 offset ... Or a  3.5 backspace and 3.5 on the front. That would work fine. I had 17 x9 on my 61 truck in the front. No problem . But as always it's ultimately up to you to get the look you want.

I will be running the Cragers myself and copying Sam Termines setup.  By using the 8's in the back he had to have the wheel lips rolled and then they cleared just fine. In the fronts will be using the 6's as there seems to be more issues with the lower front part of the wheel well hitting as this is the bad spot. I don't know what Ford was thinking to give so much more clearance to the rear than the front and its always been the part that hits and cuts tires. I cant count how many trucks I have seen that were all beat up in that spot. On mine I even moved the axle back 1" just for that reason alone.
 Here is a picture of the on Sam's truck as mine isn't close to being ready yet.  Glad you reminded me as I have been meaning to call a guy on Craigslist that had advertised a mobile service to come and do the job with his machine,,,,, keep forgetting.
  This is the listing I have been saving to buy the tires when I get ready,,,,,,LOL,,,,295 x 50 x 15 for the rear 8" wheels,, but don't have a size written down for the 6" rims...

I like the way Chate has his scooby van set up with 235 60 15 in the back, says they dont rub. I want to get a 15 x4.5 or 6 when I get more money so I can run the skinneys up front. Just trying to get by with the 8'' till then.
