Tire size question

A friend of mine has a 72 cheyenne super swb that he is lowering 2-4, He just ordered a set of 18x8 coys for it today.

He drives this truck almost daily, he wants a good size sidewall, but no rubbing issues. He wants the same size tire on all four corners.

What size 18" tires does he need? Thanks Geary

Re: Tire size question

255/55/18 is a common tire size with a decent sidewall. That's also an easily attainable tire, so prices will be reasonable.
