New guy here and new to the 67-72 trucks. I have been looking all afternoon for the answer and there are so many combinations I am not sure what will work? I am hoping someone can respond and help please

Looking at buying a 1971 GMC 1500. The truck has original 5 lug front disc and rear drums. The truck is lowered 5" in rear and 3" in the front.

I am looking to buy the Rocket Booster Classic Muscle Wheel | Gray from Coker Tire. Not sure what size rims and tires and back sizing?

Thinking 20x8 and 20x10 rims from what others are running, but not sure what backspacing?? I would like of the rims/tires to fill the wheel well and sit flush (or as much as possible) to the edge of the fender.

Any opinions and/or pics of your set up with the tire size and backspacing.

Thank you!!
