I think I am going to buy some 17x8 rims w/ 4.5 inch backspacing for my 1978 C10 project. Does anyone know how wide I can go without rubbing anything up front?

The truck will probably be lowered a little but not a ton, my roads are pretty rough at times, so I can't go with a straight low profile performance type tire.

A 235 wide tire would work just fine.
