What is biggest size tire I can fit under my pickup? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1970 Chevrolet C-10 pickup that I am restoring. I want to go for the Pro Street look with the big rear tires,both for maximum traction and good looks, and skinny front tires. I plan on lowering the truck about 2 inches as well. I want to get the biggest tires in the rear,in diameter and width, as possible without them rubbing or interfering with other components or without resorting to a narrowed rear end or tubs. I will probably just go with 15" wheels BTW. What's the biggest I can go? Also what kind of backspacing will I need? Is there a chart on the internet where I can look up tire sizes for particular vehicles?
