Wheel size recommendations

Hello. I'm currently restoring a 1953 f100 on a 2003 chevy 4x4 blazer frame. I'm using it as a 2wd. Just wondering if anyone has any size recommendations for the wheels, dia. rear spacing, offset. Something you know of or have used. Thanks, Jim.

Really is a shot in the dark. I took some plywood and made wheels out of them. From there measured everything out then went on the hunt. Completely different build then you so can't give you any tire sizing.

Thanks. That's what I was going to do. I've used cardboard in the past. Just thought I might get lucky.
