Need Help Choosing The Right Size Rims

So I am looking to get new wheels & tires for my 1986 Silverado. The wheels it has now are 15x10 all around and i do not like the fat tires in the front. I would like 15x10's on the back and 15x8 in the front. I have looked at these rims online and want to purchase them but I do not know what backspace, offset I need etc...

Re: Need Help Choosing The Right Size Rims

Those rims in 15x10 are only offered in 4in bs. If your going to lower your truck more than 4in you might want to consider another wheel that offers a 5in bs.

Here are some tire sizes typical with these wheels.
15x8, 4in bs, 245/60/15...255/60/15....225/70/15
15x10, 5in bs 275/60/15.....295/50/15
