Default What size piston rings?

I had my cylinders honed and they are now 3.898" + 0.005". I can not find any piston rings that are of that size. Does everyone just run a stock piston ring after a hone or do people move up to the +0.007" ring.

And are there any recommendations for a piston ring for a stock rebuild?

Are you putting a different piston in the block? I can't see the stock pistons workinng in a block that has been honed .005". That would have WAY too much piston to wall clearance. You need to look into a 3.903" piston if the block has been bored that far.
