Can anyone who has used this setup help me with tire and rim sizes? I need advice on backspacing in particular. I would like to use 335 on the back and am not certain how wide I can go on he front. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The most common size would be a 275 front and 335 rear. You can fit a larger tire up front but at some point you'll have rubbing at full lock if you don't limit the turning radius.
As far as backspace on the rear, much better to get the wheels/tires you want and measure from there to have the rear end shortened. Since there are infinite rear end widths a person could choose, there is no one correct wheel offset. One guy might have a wider rear end and more backspace on the wheel, while the next might want a deeper looking wheel and needs a narrower rear end to compensate.
