Post Backspacing help????

I am about ready to order new wheels for my 1970 C-20 and I had a few questions. Should I go with 15x7s or 15x8s up front? And I am getting 15x10s for the back but was wondering what back spacing I need to order for them to fit right and look good? Thanks for all the help guys.

For the backspacing on a stock truck go with 4.5" front and rear. 8's will work for front and 10's work on rear with that spacing. You could go with 5" spacing on the rears to, but less dish.
