Pic Request: 275/50/17 on 8" Rim

I'm in the dreaded process of choosing wheels and tires for my '70 C10 stepside. I was hoping to use 17x9.5 TT II's on the rear but because it is a stepside and a bit tighter under the fenders back there, there is not enough clearance since they only come in 5.5" backspace. So I am thinking of using a 275/50/17 on a 17x8 wheel instead. I know lots of guys out there run these tires on a 17x8 wheel, but I can't seem to find any good pictures of how that wider tire looks on the narrower rim. I just want to make sure this wheel/tire combo looks good and the tires aren't bulging too much before I buy anything. If anyone has pics they can post to give me an idea I would appreciate that.
