Default please help with tire size

i have a 1st gen s-10 blazer cut coils up front and blocks in the rear..i know im gonna hear **** about the coils, but anyway, im planning to drop it more in the next week or two, and i dont know what size tire to get, right now it has 235-70r15's and the rub a little, they did before i dropped it too, but i wanna do 2" drop spindles up front and either take a leaf out or just get a 4" block in the rear. the problem is i have no idea where toi start with picking a tire size because idk what will look good, i was thinking about some federal 535's in 205/50r15 but will the look silly? my buddy has runways in 205/50r15 on his s-10pickup shortbed and they dont look bad. with the tires ill get about 2.5 inches iof drop plus the suspension at about 4. any pictures of anything similar? oh, any body know where i can get a reasonably priced rollpan for this? all i can seem to find is weld ons that need a ****load of mudwork, im looking for somthing urethane or fiberglass, dont have to be perfect but something i can paint and bolt on. thanks for any help u can give. oh its got i beleive like an early 90's camaro wheel on it but i honestly have know idea.

Only thing I'll say about the coils is that after you
get the spindles and everything, I'd invest in drop springs for a better ride.

As for tires i'd say the 255-50-15 would work. That's what my buddy ran on a 5-6 drop and didn't rub or anything. Plus I think it made the 15's look a lil bigger.
