if it's the factory 86 rims,no way.if you go with a 15x8 on the back,you need a 4" offset.this will keep the wheel tucked in the fenderwell.go with a 15x7 on the front with a 4" offset,this will keep it from rubbing when you turn.tires 275/60/15 on the back,235/60/15 on the front

absolutely will!

1986 had 16x8 with 5" offset. they ran a 245/50/16. they will fit in front and back, and sometimes you can even get a 275/50/16 out back

a 275/60/15 in back is going to raise up your rearend too much (and possibly scrape) and not going to handle good and judging by your question, you must be wanting to handle decent. I have fit 255/60/15 all around before but on the factory 7" rim they were too tall and I lost a lot of handling
