Looking to install airbags also so the wheels need to "Tuck"

What size tires should I be looking at also?? Fatter the better for the rear.

Thanks in advance.

Check my build thread, 8's and 10's, 4.5 all the way around with the narrow rear. They won't tuck on the rear, but the backspacing can't be any deeper either. Might be different for a fleetside.
