I have a little more drop, 4.5"/7" and tall tires. You need the same I think. I went to 17" wheels since I think that is the sweet spot in rim size. I did 235 55 17 for a 27" tall front tire on a 17x8 4.5" backspace rim and the rear is a 275 55 17 on a 5" bs 17x9 29" tall setup. That's as big a tire as will fit on a stepside without bedside mods.
