255/50-18 = 28.03" so that's going to be your height limitation. Fronts will offer less clearance vs. rear so I would look into how much room you have w/an original set-up to help decide. Some 255/50's on 8" wheels should be a good fit. If there's not enough clearance @ the fender opening, you'll need to go down in sidewall ratio ('45' series vs. '50' series) to get a shorter overall diameter. Backspacing (or offset depending on wheel manufacturer) will also play into what fits & works. It needs to be optimized if @ all possible. I would do some internet searching for other 454ss trucks & get info on a set-up that is similar to what you visually like & go from there.

Re: Tire & Wheel size
Take a few basic measurements and use this calculator. VERY HANDY!
You can try different combinations and see if the clear. https://www.wheel-size.com/calc |
