You won't get far without specifying the width of the rims, because the width establishes where the wheel's lip is ...

yep, entirely dependent on wheel width and your plans for using the truck and final tire size.....if you want to go low, you will have to seriously consider your offset

Sorry about that, I was looking at a 15X7 rim with 4" BS. Not looking at real big tires as I don't want to regear right now. 29s or 30s ? I want to minimize the sticking out as much as possible, but if there is some, I could get flares.

What width are your stock(?) steelies?

A 7" wide rim with 4" backspace translates into approximately 0mm offset.
