Looking for 17" and 18" wheels on c10s

I'm looking to put some 17" or 18" inch wheels on my 84 c1500. I'm trying to figure out what size tire to go with it. Its lowered 3" in the front and 4" in the rear with a DJM kit. Does anyone have any suggestions on what width tires and what sidewall size? I'd like to see some pictures of your trucks with info on tire/wheel size
