It takes a 1.5" spacer to even the out the front and rears with a front discs and the narrow rearend, which it looks like your truck has. A stock 6 lug 4x4 wheel should cure your rubbing issues. If you could find two 8" 4x4 steelies, you could avoid the rear spacer and it has a nice staggered look. Here was my '69 shop truck with that set-up.
