Default Wheel offset question

I'm looking at getting a new set of hoops for the 96. I'm looking for some all around steelies to drive around on something simple but I'm curious about offset. I'm wanting something like 15x7's up front and 15x10's out back its lowered 4/6 I believe I can't confirm it but it sets really low and the 20's on it now rub when I hit bumps<=== I don't want to do that with the new wheels. Any ideas?

I have the same year, same drop looking for the same answer, im shooting for 255/60/15 on a 8 inch wheel up front, probably 4 inch backspace. and hoping to fit a 295/50/15 in the rear on a 10 inch wheel, this is the big issue though, ive read differing information on the backspacing required to fit that wheel and tire in the rear and have it tuck, and not stick out the bed side. So the search continues.

any advice anyone has you'll be helping the both of us!
