Maybe I'm old...but I think 17's or 18's are PERFECT on a C10.

It's just my opinion but I don't think staggered wheel sizes works that well on our trucks. I think they look much better with the same size wheel front and rear regardless of the size. I prefer 20's and 22's if you want to be extreme....
 Lets see if my memory serves me well. These are 17's....

I think your truck looks great with the 18" on it. I take it you can not rotate the tires with one size on front and another size on the rear. If you put a lot of miles on your truck I would stay with one size all around. MO But I am old too.

That truck looks good but could be lowered a little and (in my openion) would look better.
