8 x 15s seem the most common, that's what iv fitted

A lot would depend on axle width and wheel/rim et offset.
We ran 9jx15 et0 compomotive with rear monte carlo alloy arches and 90mm forest on front.

If you want road tyres, you can get the Toyo T1-R in 225/50x15 for a fairly reasonable £75-£90 a piece.
