i think the 10 inch rim is too wide for the front. and i dont think it will look that great. the rims would be fantastic on the back however, but the front shouldnt be bigger than 8.5-9". as for the tire size, a 255 is a little narrow for a 10 inch rim, i would go with a 275.

you'll need the 5x4.75 bolt patern, if you can get 15/7 front and 15/8 rear, or go with 15-8's all the way around. the 255/60's will work for the back.

i think a 235/55R15 would be good for the front, and then 255/60's for the rear like 74454bb suggested, either size wont be too expensive, and a lot of shops will mount and balance tires for free if you buy tires through them

235/60 for the front, they dont make 15 inch tires in a 235 55 15. .....A 255/60 15 is a wide tall tire. mostly used foe rear tires. The only yay to tell if it will fit the front is to try it on or find someone that can measure the inside of your front wheel well. I have a 245/60 on the back of mine and it won't fit up front.
