wheel and tire suggestions please!! 1980
 
I am looking for wheel and tire size suggestions for my 80 SWB...

I love the look of the stock wheels... but they dont seem wide enough to fill the fender wells, especially in the back....
I have seen stock wheels that seem to, but maybe it is just an illusion because of wider tires??? OR... are they running spacers??? or????

I also love the old "centerline" brushed alluminum wheels with no holes and rivets around the edge.... if I go with these, I'd like 'em a little wider than stock...

Basically I want the look that was popular in 1980's... (more "personalized" than "customized")
This was my Dad's old truck and I still want him to enjoy it too!

Oh.... and I am dropping the truck only 2inches in the back for a "stock-ish, but level" stance!

Any suggestion on tire and wheel sizes is appreciated!!! (with pics, even better!)

Thanks in advance!
