Default 88-98 Wheel Specs & Suggestions

First of all, if some of my jargon is off don't pick on me, I'm used to camaros haha.

Hey guys, I'm looking into putting some wheels on my 1991 c1500 RC StepSide 2WD. Basically I'm doing a 5/7 drop and I'm going for kind of a muscle truck look instead of the low rider look. I want the fattest wheel I can get on the back, what is the widest wheel that will fit on our trucks without tubbing? Also I'm thinking 18's on the back, and 17's up front. I'd even consider going with a set of wheels like billet street lites or something along that line and go with a 15 in the back with a taller tire. I'm looking for some advice, or suggestions here guys.

Side Note: What are the offsets, lug spacing for 88-98 c1500's?

Thanks!

Thank you. Now I just need to know the offset and what the widest wheel I can get on there is.

I'm not sure on offsets, but 15x8 4" backspace 73-87 rally wheels sit well in the wheel wells, if I remember correctly. So 4" front space
