I am planning on using 10" tread width (section width would be a bit wider) DOT sticky tires on the back w 6" tread width on the front (ala drag car style, yes, I use an adjustable proportioning valve), I may end up going to car style rally as they are avail in amost endless combinations.

OR going to a touring style wagon wheels (my term for those 17 to 19" biggies)
my truck has 15x8's all around, and my 81 does as well, if going with a big small combo, use some van rallies up front, they are 15x6.5 or 15x7, and, a 15x10 out back, wheel vintiques does actually sell them, but they ask 127 plus shipping, summit racing has them cheaper at 105 each plus shipping

they have them in 5, and 4.5 backspacing, hope this helps some
