Default Best tires for front 15 x 7 Weld RT-S

I decided to purchase Weld RT-S Wheels for my street/strip TA (stock off-sets and stock calipers). I plan to purchase M&H Racemaster drag radials for the rear wheels 15 x 10. The front wheels are 15 x 7 instead of skinnies. What BRAND front tire is the best match for the Racemaster rear tires? What is the best size 225/70/R15 or 235/75/R15?

Have you test fit this wheel yet? It's probably not going to fit in that width and diameter.

No. I have not pulled the trigger yet. So, I can still order something different. I just want a wider tire (than a skinny) for street use. Maybe I should get a 17 x 8 front instead??? Originally, I planned to get BLACK RT-S 15 x 10's for the rear to maximize traction (Lambo black 98 TA with cammed LS7 and 9" Moser with 411's) and BLACK RT-S 17 x 8's for the rear. But, I like that black Alumastars on your car. How wide are your front wheels/tires?

They are 17x4 with 26x7.5-17 Hoosier Front Runners.
