Re: wheel size question
I had 15x10 rallys with 4.5 bs with 275x60x15's on the rear of my '70 c10 and they fit good, but they would not fit up front.

Re: wheel size question
On average the front is 3" wider than the rear. There is also a clearance issue with the tie rod. Which diameter wheels are you going to buy

Re: wheel size question
A 15 x 8 with 4"bs will fit up front. What wheels are you getting? Are you staying with a 15". Or going bigger.

Re: wheel size question
You'll probably have to grind a little material off the front calipers to get any 8-lug 15" wheel to fit up front.
