-5 on 5 or 5X127 metric conversion. -Try and avoid unilug hard to align / keep tight & right size lugs are needed -Chevy/GMC vans the center bore on the wheels are 3.420 inches and the hub/axle is around 3 inches -Cragar SS or Slots for the win -Staggered for old school look with a nice rake
I'd say I'm overdue . . . .

I prefer the 15x10 rears versus the 15x8, but that's just my taste. Either way, you're probably going to need an extended slider arm or gullwing. I've got 15x10 Cragars with 295/50-15 on the back of my 82 and I'm wanting to switch to 275/60, but I would still need an extender to clear. Mine have about 3.5" backspacing.

On the 10's it depends a lot on the backspacing. I had 10 reverse on my ford with 275/60/15 and they stuck out quite a bit. Standard 10's may not stick out as much.
