Mine are P235/60R 15 on 15 X 8 wheels.
http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rims/EAGLE%20ALLOYS-Series%20117-Polished.html
They fit no problems with stock worn out springs and drum brakes
and new springs with disc brakes
including just fitting the 12" rotor.

I have stock springs on the Sportvan still. And I'm running 15x8's. 215-65-15's on the front and 245-60-15's out back with no issues. You also have to consider the condition of your "Standard" springs. If you front springs are now flatter than flat you have to take into consideration the loss of clearance there as well.

OK here we go... wheel and tire Comparo:
Outlaw II mags: 235/60r15 on 15 x 7 up front, and 275/60r15 on 15 x 7 out back. The front 235's rubbed slightly on the forward lower corner lip of the front wheel wells during tight steering. Could have fixed it with minor trimming/grinding for clearance or rolling the lip up.
Turbines: Here's 215/65r15 front on 15 x 7 and 295/60r15 on 15 x 9 out back... looks pretty good. rear tires stick out about 1/2" either side, but I like the ol skool look
Cragar S/S: OK, now here's 195/65r15 on 15 x 7 front and 275/60r15 on 15 x 8 out back:
E/T Mags: And here we have 205/70r14 on 14 x 6 front and 255/60r15 on 15 x 7 out back
