Question Wheels and tires



My project 8 (55pu) just began and I already could need some help.

I am installing a Mustang II IFS and will get a Ford 9" rear axle with a four link suspension.
I have a 383 callaway competition super natural engine and will have a 4L60E.
As I want to put the power of this engine in the street without blowing my tires into rubber clouds,
I want to use quite big tires in the rear.
The tank and batterie will be moved to the rear too. I think of buying wider fendersand maybe install some wheel tubs? inside the bed.

You could help me very much in telling me, which wheel size ( backspace ! )
you are using and what size of tires.
The truck will be lowered 4 inches through the IFSm no dropped spindles.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated !!
