Would the following combo look good for a 15x8 wheel?
205/60R15 front
225/60/R15 rear
This is for my 82 Malibu.
I am looking at the uniroyal tiger paw touring NT.

Those sizes are pretty narrow. I'd go with at least a 225 front.. Ideally 245 would look better though.

Anything from a 225 to a 245 will fit and look fine on a 8" wheel.

A 205 is really skinny for an 8.0" wide wheel. I would go at least with a 235, 245 or 255 tire.

They would look tiny on that car, given the fact that the car is just kind of large overall. Even the '78-'87 Monte Carlos could fit huge wheels (stock Corvette, in the '80s, at least, if I recall correctly) in stock wells with no modification. For reference, I've stuffed, with much great labor, 15x8s in my '63 Falcon's wheel wells; they have 225-50s, and don't look all that big...

15x8 in rear needs atleast 255 in back..perferably 275-60 if you can fit it..
front 245-60
