You can lower a c10 with 8in rallys. I just lowered my 78 yesterday with rallys. I used CPP 2.5in drop spindles(1.25in rotors) and cut one round off the front springs...no rubbing issues at all. I lowered my 82 with Mcgaughys 2.5in drop spindles(1in rotors) with the same wheels but I did have to grind a little bit off the lower leading edge of the lower control arm but that was it.

If you decide to go with Weld Wheels a 15x10 with 5.5in backspace will be perfect.
