Good call on the section widths, I'm not too much of a fan of the stretched look either so I might play around with the tire size up front.

Main thing is I'm just trying to make sure the rears fit within the fender wells (and from yall it sounds like it should). I think if I bump up to an 18x9 I'll get at 5in backspace.

The drum brake 67-70's look good w/the old factory 6-lug 4x4 Ralleys on the front & rear. They are 15x8 w/4"BS. So some 9" wheels w/5"BS out back would maintain that spacing. The fronts would get pushed out thus usually wanting additional back-spacing.

The issue might be finding wheels @ a budget friendly price-point that have the back-spacing/offset desired. It's harder than it seems for anything beyond the Average Joe.
