What size wheel fit best?

I recently dropped my 69' chevy c-10 and the 15x8 wheels I have on there now rub the fenders when i go over bumps and with body roll on turns. Have any of you experienced this problem and what is a good fit for new wheels...I am thinking of going to a 16x8 or a 17x8 centerline snipers. The drop I did was a 2.5 in spindle drop from CPP and a 1 in spring drop from ECE. The rear is a 5 incher from ECE. Please help!

The Centerline Snipers have a 5in backspace and a 12mm offset.

By the way, does anybody know what the bolt circle specs for a 6 lug?
Is it 4.5 or 5.5 inches?

5 inch backspace on the FRONT is perfect for an 8 inch rim. 6- lug b.c. is 5.5 inches.

I run 8 inch fronts with 4.25 backspace. They fit great with no clearance issues.

Mine is lowered 4.5 inches in the front too.
