Wider Rallye Wheels?

I have been researching new wheel options for my 84 C10 and am really considering going with Rally wheels. Through parting out a couple C10's, I have acquired sets of both 15x7 and 15x8, with matching rings and caps...

My question is what width/backspacing works best on the back... I will probably go with at least 10" wide rears and use the 15x8" on the front. I really don't like the stock 15x8's look on the back, too narrow compared to the front width...

I plan on using 255/60 and 275/60 Radial TA's.

Any suggestions?

I purchased 15x10's (5" backspacing)from Summit Racing. They are mounted on 275/60-15's.

That's what I've been looking at, I just can't decide on 5" or 4.5" backspacing...

Re: Wider Rallye Wheels?

I know Stockton wheel can widen stockers out to 15x14... I didn't ask about anything wider.
