You can get 10" wheels in the back depending upon the offset. Zero offset may create a rubbing on the fender wells and you may have to use a 1/2 inch spacer.
Also, watch over the top of the tires in the rear. There is an outer fender edge and bracing that could come into play depending upon the size wheel and tire and how low you set the truck.
I just went through this with 20 inche / 10" wide wheels, tried 285's, then 265's then 255 20's before I finally got them to fit. I think there is about 12.5" of room between the fender lip and the bed so tire width is not unlimited.
On the front, you shouldn't have a problem depending upon how low you choose to go. I used 2.5" drops in the front and then cranked the torsion bars up as the 8.5" 245's were rubbing the fender lips. I am rolling the lips up this week to get a little bit more clearance. BTW, mine only rubbed on the passenger side and on turns to the right while hitting a slight bump.
Great looking truck you got there...I like it a lot!!! Here are the 10 inch wheels in the rear...Foose Legends. My rear axel is on bags so I run it just a bit lower then this right now...no rubbing!
