Boss 338 / Coys C5 wheel question

This may have been posted / answered before but I am curious before I make my wheel selection.

My truck is a 69, but it has had the 73-87 front swap. I have heard people mention the Coys and Boss wheels do not fit the 67-72 trucks exactly right (the center bore problem) Would I have the same problem running 73-87 front end? Do you know if the Eagle 225 has the same problem?

Also, what's a good backspacing to run on the front? My truck will have about 4.5" drop, (2.5" spindle, one turn cut out of the coils .. PO cut them)running 20x8 or maybe 20x8.5 if I can get away with it. What are you guys running on the front? 5.5" bs? 5" ? what works best? Tire size? Pics? Thanks.
