Ok..i'm down to just the cab and frame on the truck and i'm doing some planning. I have a lead on a posi rear end out of a transam/camaro. I'm going with the mustang II in the front. Anyone know what kind of tire I can stuff on the front in an 18" and what about a 20x10" in the rear?

I don't get it. Are you intentionally mismatching the tires? How many spares do you plan to carry around?

all you need is a spare tire that is the same height as the rear tires. That way, if you get a flat, you can put the spare on and not have to worry about the posi burning up on you. If you have a front flat tire, your pickup might just look kinda tilted, but that wont hurt anything.

18's and 20's are good combos, but havent seen great rims that big on a nice look AD yet. Oh yea, you might need to tub the box a little bit for the 10" wide rims out back.

you can get 18" tires that are the same overall diameter as the 20" tires. Which both will be a smaller diameter than a 235/75/15
