8" rally's vs 9"

I have a complete set of 8" rally's for my 79 c10. I also have a pair of 9". Should I put the 9" rims in the back? Or stay with all 8"? This is a frame off show truck so not a daily driver. Will not need to completly rotate the tires. Will just swap them side to side from time to time. What do you guys think? About 375 hp. A posi may be in the future but nothing soon

Did you measure overall width or inside width? 8in rallys are 9in overall width.

Measure tire bead to bead. 8" rally wheels actually measure 8.5" out to out.

No...people commonly measure out to out, when it should be bead to bead.
