wheel delima....input appreciated

I've looked at some of the existing posts but really didnt find one that applied. I have a 68 f100 longbed. I found a set of aluminum rims, 15x10 that im interested in but curious if that's too wide and what tire size would work the best. I'm planning on flipping the front spring hanger in hopes of lowering the rear to level it out and want a wide tire to improve the looks/ride. Any thoughts. ....

IIRC, Trozei runs 10s in the back with 275/60-15s.

15x8s in the front with 235/70-15s.

Backspacing? Ya gotta know that.

Yea I'm pretty sure that's what tro has. I was running a 11.50 wide tire on a 8" wheel and it fit fine. So if the back spacing is correct you'll be fine.

They are all 4 15x10....forgot to take my tape measure to double check the lug pattern and backspace. They looked to have about a 4-4 1/2" backspace
