What wheel & Tire combo to use?

I have a '63 fleetside. I did a 2/4 drop on it. Im not sure what wheel & tire size to use. I want as much meat on the back as I can. I want a traditional look over a Bling look. I recently picked up some 10" wide wheels, but they're going to rub on the back.

Right now I have 30/9.50/R15 Wild Country Radial RVT's on front and rear and there is plenty of clearance. I am not sure how wide the wheels are though....

I'm running 275/60/15's with 10's on the back of both my trucks. I've had as wide as a 305 but they can rub the outer sheet metal. 4.5 back spacing.

OK it was'nt funny , I do wonder is there other rear ends that would swap
w/o too much grief and give a bit narrower track and keep the bolt pattern ?
anybody ?
what about adding the front wheel opening to the rear of the truck or would
that destroy the "classic" look anybody on here seen or done that ?
of course that would open the body work can of worms

Re: What wheel & Tire combo to use?

It's real close in the back. I think the back spacing should be more? I suppose I could just get one wheel wrapped, bring it home and try. Im kind of putting the cart before the horse, but its motivation.

BB- Air shocks=very cool. Cant wait to put some traction bars on too!
