Another newb with wheel questions

I have been avoiding asking questions trying to find all the answers myself. But I am reaching the limits of what I can currently do since I don't have the truck with me and I am in planning stages.

So I have a set of wheels I will be taking off my 4wd Tacoma when I take possession of my C10. I am thinking of using them rather than selling them. Taking them off the Tacoma because I will be getting rid of it.

Long story but I don't have the C10 yet. Still at my dads and I will be picking it up in a couple months.

Anyway, the wheels are 16x8 with a 4.5" backspacing with a 0mm offset and 6 x 5.5. Not sure of the center bore on the wheels but I imagine I will need to get hub centric rings. Not sure if i can just keep them lug centric or not.

Not 100% sure of where my suspension will be yet, but in the beginning it will have 2.5" drop spindles front and 3" springs back. The end goal is bagged with Porterbuilt Stage 2 deluxe rear and Stage 1 front. And some day later, finish the front with Porterbuilt front lower control arms.

Would these work or is the backspacing too far off? I know 4" BS would have been great in the 15x8 I was originally planning on but not sure with these and the extra BS. Also, what would the ideal size tire be? I want to be able to rotate left/right but not too concerned about front/back. that would be great but not a deal breaker.

thanks for any advice you guys can give.
A.W.
