I'm looking at 17" rims for my 77 C10. Can I get a little help please from you..

So right now I have 15" rims and they don't look bad at all.

Let's start with what I DON'T want!
 - I don't want rims so big that the tires look like slightly thicker rubber bands snapped on the rims.
 - I don't want rubbing from my front tires on my fenders!!!!!!

What I DO want:
 - I want some rims and tires that look balanced well where the rims and the tires work well with each other
 - I want a bit of a sport/mussel  look but tires that are not too wide to make them look like a Formula 1 racing car. 


Can you guys with 17" rims please post some photos of your rims please!

FYI: I will be using the factory coils and leaf springs. The front coils have sagged a pinch over the last 40 years but that gave the truck a nice gate to it! Most likely a 1" drop in the front. The rear leaf springs are the 3/4 ton spring pack from the factory. I got a heavy half ton truck. 

I also have a 12 bold rear end and my studs are a 5 by 5"

Thank you in advance guys!!!!


PS:
Something that I have found out in looking for 15" rims. I have been told a few times over by local tire shops is that the 5 by 5" rims are limited to a few styles of rims. This is because of the Jeeps. You see the majority of the 5 by 5" market was pushed to the Jeep market and that limited the rims to larger rims. There are a number of 5 by 5" rims but if you look at them they all for the most part look the same. That Crager SS look and that is the look that I DON'T want!

Here is an older picture of mine with 17" rims.  Stock ride height '77 K20.  Tires are 33" tall, so I have 8" of sidewall.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond!
Looks like there is a bunchy of room there and little to no chance of rubbing.

Sounds like you need some 15" slots

That's the stance I want (level).  But I haven't had any luck finding away to lift my sagging front end. I have a heavy 1/2 as well. I couldn't find any 16 inch tires I wanted there like finding a dinosaur
