But I'd 100% measure it myself, especially when ordering custom wheels you can't return.
Also note that the fronts WILL interfere with the shock mount. And they will likely interfere with aftermarket lower control arms sway bar mount unless you relocate it like I did.
If you're not wanting to mess with that I'd go at least an inch narrower in the fronts, but again, measure it!
Also keep in mind that your rear end might be narrower depending on if it's an early or late 70', which will affect the offset you need.
I wanted wide tires on all 4 corners for two reasons. One, to increase braking performance by having a wider front pad. And two because a square stance is supposed to help counter understeer, which we have loads of in these.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info,yes as stated in know I should measure my truck,just wanted base line numbers to start with,I did this with my 72 chevelle and the norm for 70-72 with certain components a 315 sq,front 10.0 or 10.5 wide 5.5 bs, rears 10.00,11.00 wide,6.00 bs 315 30 18 clears fine I've seen as a trend most of the times the numbers are close,the we double check to make sure it fits.
Thanks for sharing!��
Btw what is your rear,axle flange to flange? Thanks!
