suspension drop and wheel width question on 72 lwb leaf

I was thinking of running the caltracs rear leaf setup and a mono leaf on my truck instead of a 4 link coilover but I'm trying to find out if I do a 3/5 drop how wide and tall of a rim and tire I can run on the rear.

You can easily run a 10" wide wheel with a 29" or 30" tall tire.

Can I run the 4 or 4.25 whatever it is backspacing to keep them tucked for the most part?
