Rim/Tire Question

Right now my current wheel setup is:

Front: 245/60/16
Rear: 255/50/16

I am looking to get new rims and I want that wide tire look so I am looking at some 15x10 American Racing rims. Will I have a problem putting these on the car? Right now I have the 16x8in rims on my Z28.

If they will go on smoothly, what size would you recommend for the front and rear? Is 295/50/15 on the rear a good size or will they still bulge? By the way, the tires will be BFG Radial T/As.

How big on the front should I go? I don't want to rub.

BTW: These new tires will upset my speedo right? What do I go about to correct it? I have been thinking about getting a digital dash that can calibrate itself. (For looks and functionality, not just because I'm lazy)

-Thanks
