79 c10 buying some wheel viniques series 13 what sizes are good?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wv...5044/overview/

I'm thinking of getting these wheels in
Front: 15x10 Rear: 15x12 setup

will this work for the truck the truck is dropped, and i'm worried bout the front
clearance when turning. I'm also not interested in the wheels sticking out from the fenders, what sizes look good for front at rear

any input is greatly appreciated, thanks.

and also will this this wheel bolt right in? any issues mounting these wheels?

I run Wheel Vintiques 15x8 on the front and 15x10 on the rear. I run a 295 55 tire on the back. They clear no problem. The 12 inch rear rim might be tight depending on rear end with and backspacing. They are nice wheels for the money.

Re: 79 c10 buying some wheel viniques series 13 what sizes are good?

I'm running their 15x10's front and rear with 275/60's up front and 325/50's out back. I like the combo but may step down to 15x8's up front some day. If only I hadn't had them all powder coated at a place that has since closed. Too much trouble to match now, but I like what I have. The fronts do have just a little sidewall bulge outside the fenders but it does not bother me at all. My only thing is wondering if I'd gone 15x8 up front the rears might look wider.

Carefull The website says 4.5" backspace. I'd be sure they fit for $156 per copy. I forget what backspace a chevy 15x8 ralley has but I know there are clearance issues when lowering with 3" spindles.
