new wheel tire choice?

[Hottrucks]

ok now you guys got me all wet on wide stock rallies

My buddy just had some 17's cut for his 66 ford p/u he needed to have the offset changed and made wider ( 8" to 10") because of front brake rubbing issues I gave him a quick call he said he had about $100 or so in each wheel.....still cheap $$$ for a custom wheel maybe I wil look into having my stockers cut and widened then hit with a rattle can...I can keep that old school look and still snaek a fatty under the rear.....

any Ideas what the best offset is and how wide I could go?? maybe a tire size......Dam I hate you guys for making me thin about this...Hmmmmmmm.....rally wheels $25 at the swap meets custom fab work $100...wide tires on the back of your rat rod....priceless!!
