Need help with wheel/tire sizes and brands

I was pretty much set on Coy C5's until I read a thread about people having fit issues with them and having to grind to fit, so to speak.

So, now I'm not sure which direction to go but still want 5 spoke wheels. The truck will have a 3/5 drop and looking at either 18 or 20's or possibly combination of the two that will fill the wheelwells nicely. Can you guys post your wheel and tires sizes, with backspacing and pics? This is an expensive proposition and I want to do it right the first time. Thanks for any help!

A valid excuse to post another pic? Awesome!!

Drop is 3.5/5
Wheels are Summit Legend 5 Gunmetal (cuz I can't afford Coy's)
Front: 18x8.5 w/6" BS and Nitto 555 extreme ZR 245/45R18
Back: 18x9.5 w/ 6.75" BS and Nitto 555 extreme ZR 295/45R18
(BS accommodates 1.25" billet spacers due to different bolt patterns--Dana 44 rear)
