Wheel Help

I have a 70 C10 stepside with a 5 lug 4/6" drop. It has 3" drop spindles and has to have a 16" wheel in front to clear the caliper. What size rim and backspace can I get away with front and back? And also on backspace wouldnt the rear have less backspace than the front. It seems that would make it look deeper from the front of the rim in back and shallow in front. I am probably all mixed up. I would also entertain 17's. Any help is appreciated.
