Looking into ordering some either 15 or 16 inch rims for my 70, I currently have a 5.5/7 drop on my truck (not driving yet, still working on paint), and am looking for some original appearing rims on Summit.

I know backspace for stock is 4.00", is this ideal for my drop? Also, should I run a 15 or 16x8 or a 15 or 16x7?

Tips and ideas are welcome!

Thanks in advance.
