Wheel fitment with a 295 tire? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm used to the 60-66 world but I recently picked up an 87 short wide and want to buy some wheels for it. I have a new pair of 295/40/18 rear tires. I also have some 20" tires.

I'm looking at doing 18x9 front and 18x10 in the rear or 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear. Does anyone know what backspacing I need to make this happen? Stock leaf springs with 2" shackles and will be dropped 1" in the front.

I looked for a wheel thread on here but didn't see one.

Thanks!
