Do you have an angle shot you could post? because from the side the tires look fine I like it, I know on the c10 most guys are running 245 or 255 up front and 275 in the rear

I just bought Riddler 695 gray, 18x9.5 and 18x8 for my 75 Jimmy

The 9.5 come with 5.5" BS, the 8 comes with 4.5" BS
The fronts are perfect as is, the rears fit but could be moved out 1/4" to place in center of tub.
I will probably run them as is since there is clearance. The tires are 295/45/18 and 255/50/18. The rear tire is about 1/4" or so taller then the fronts. If you go with 255/45/18 they'll be about 1" shorter then the rears. I am also doing a rear flip and a 2.5" spindle with 1 cut coil in front, which should be 5"/5"

The rear 295's with 5.5" BS have 1.25" clearance on the inside of the tub and 1.75" clearance from the outer lip
I haven't done the drop yet so any pics I would have right now will be stock height.
I'll add that they fit easily and no matter your drop they clear, front and rear with that BS.
I originally planned on running 18x8's all around but when I put the 255 on the rear it looked too wimpy, so I bought some 18x9.5 to fill it up.
I got a great deal on Ebay, it cost me $577 for the 8's and 9.5's but I had to buy four of each so now I have an extra set of these. I do have a 71 stepside but I'm not certain I want two trucks with the same wheels.

you have any pics of them installed

I don't think pics at this point will help any since it's still stock height, top of the wheel opening is about 5" above the top of the tires. I was more concerned that you knew the BS worked well front and back. If you really want I can take some pics.
I dislike having front and rear tires that aren't matching, Toyo proxis STII has all 3 of those sizes in same tire, 295/45/18, 255/50/18 and 255/45/18. The 255/45/18 might be a better choice for the front since Blazers/Jimmys don't seem to have the rake that a pick up has, at least mine seems to be absolutely level all around (stock) where as a pu seems to be slightly lower in front in stock trim. I wont know for sure until I drop it all around.

think I will go with the same up only chrome
