    i'm running 20s right now there Boss 304. I was running 15inch x 8 crap wheels that were on it when I got it. Depends on how big you wanna go.

    You could go with a 16x10 or 15x10 or 17x10 tons of options. You could go wide in the back 10 inches or 12 inches and narrower in the front

    i used to run 15x 10's with 295/50 r 15's on my old truck. my buddy ran 15x 10s with 295/50s, sometimes ran 265/ 50s on his 76 chevy styepside, with enough backspacing and tubed out bed he was able to lower it 4/6. looked mean to.
