Tub it.

I had 15x 8.5 on my streetrod with 275x60 15's and it looked cool but the ride was hard and the wet traction was poor. Next wheels were down a little to 15x 8 with 255x60 rubber. Next will be 245 or 235. Looking for the best combo. I just make sure the tire height varies little.

I agree with Mopar

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TUB IT~~~~~~~~~~~~

OR you could cut & re roll the edges to get away from those air shocks... and drop it to the ground and add some flares to give it a the road racing look..kind of like this,
