Default Wheel Help for 1996 firebird

Im building a street and strip 1996 firebird. Stock style suspention setup. Will have aje front end kit on her too. Trying to get this car as light as possible too.

But anyway Looking at these wheels from Jegs sport mag wheels.
Looking at 15x4 for the front with 1.75 bs with skinnies.
and 15x8 in rear ( not sure if bs should be 4.5 or 5.5 help what works best??) and planning on running Hossier Quick time pros 28"x 11.5"x15"

This is the planed set up so far. I have not measured yet for back spacing on the rear. Was woundering some other set up like this what they are running. also anyone with pics with a set up like this would be nice
