Tire size help

Howdy.
My leaf spring swap is almost complete... its been almost 3 weeks with all the conflicts of life but its getting near completion.
Just have to do front passenger side now.. Tomorrow and it should all be done.. hopefully...

anyways... my preliminary numbers are 40" front (ground to fender) and 41.5" rear..
might be 1/2" to 1" off since I havent finished the job AND the truck is sitting on dirt.

Anyways.

What size wheel/tires can I fit on there now?
and will I need a spacer with that size?

I think the largest would still be the size for the stock truck. I think they are 305's, and no spacer with 16" wheels. My Ex is 39" all around stock with 1 1/2" shackles in the front.
