65 C10 big brake wheel/tire size

Need some opinions. 65 C10 swb stepside lowered 3" in front with drop spindles and 4" in rear with lowering springs. Front also has 13" rotors so need 17" rim minimum. Looking at options for wheels and tires either 17" or 18" so are there more tire size options for 18"? Any suggestions for daily driver rims? CPP Modular drop spindles so will 8" wide rims give me plenty of clearance?

I will run 245/45/18 Nitto 555s fronts but have rears on at 295/45/18. 8.5/9.5 rims. Same size tires and rims I would run 255 and 18x8.5 for your step.
