Which way should I go, Dually or wide wheels

HI guys,
I want your opinions/survey on what to do.
Next year or so I will start transforming my 72 suburban. Basically its going to be hot rodded.
I'm not sure what I want to do with the wheels, and these are the options I want to do.

1. big fat wheels/tires, probably 18 x 15 wheels rear, 20 x 10 (maybe wider?) front. Obviously I will have to tub it and have tires as close to the chassis as possible.

2. Go the Dually truck looking way, but with big aluminum or chrome 191/2 inch 8 lug wheels or bigger 10 lug wheels with adapters as in the pictures below.
Does anybody know if you can fit duallys under the back guards without the later model flares? I have seen it done obviously I would have to tub the interior.

This would be the 10 lugger (too big??)




without flares, how would this be done?
