Tires for stock rims

[BlackBuick84]

Ok, car came w/ stock tires(215/65) when i got it and am looking for somethin bigger. Gonna keep the stock rims(same as 86/87 t-types...15x7, 4"bs) and this is for street use. From the search I just did, here's what seems like a good fit w/ stock rims:

BFGs-275/50/15, heard these may rub, an have traction issues
Nitto-275/60/15, from my search, the 50's seemed too short according too most

Up front, i'll run a 235/50 probably and I dont drive the car in the rain unless I get stuck, so thats not much of an issue.

By the time I get $ for tires, the car will already have the Eibach pro-kit(lowered 1.5"), shocks: 90/10 for the front an 50/50 in back, and airbags.

So which tire will fit/hook the best?
And will lowering the car affect the tires' fitment?
Or am I way off on all this? ...if so, please correct my mistakes.

your plan should work fine. Shorter but stiffer springs up front will rub less than stock springs. In back nothing should rub heightwise.

All those back tires should fit those wheels, but you will likely get frame rubbing in very hard turns (Off ramps at high speed, almost none if you aren't speed racer). A very small spacer (1/4") and or aluminum drums should eliminate almost all rub (even speed racer rub).

With big tires in back and loose front shocks, think about a big rear sway bar to improve handling.
