On the rear a 15x10 with 7.5 back space would be the set up.
Up front a 15x8 with 5.5 back space but you may have to do some mods to get them on. Not a big deal though, a little grinding on the radius of the caliper should do the trick.

I have pics of my 15x10 Prostars with 6.5" bs on my WS6. The 7.5" bs is better on Camaros because they don't have as wide of a rear 1/4 panel. With my 6.5" bs and 275/50 Nittos the tire didn't stick out past the top of the fender, it was dead even. I can post up a pic if you want, just gotta scan and upload it. Also you'll need to get really intimate with a grinder b/c you'll be spending some time with it to get the right amount ground off the calipers without taking too much off. Took me about an hour each caliper. Get a can of spray paint and hit the calipers after you grind them down so you can see where the wheel is rubbing when you spin it.

Unless things have changed, a 15x3.5 Pro Star is all you can run up front with a lot of grinding or with running a spacer and longer studs. I haven't been on here in a while so Weld may have made changes to allow the 15s to fit, but you're wanting drag wheels, it's pretty pointless to run a wide wheel up front b/c you want less weight and rotational mass, hence the skinny drag wheels.
