50 sidewall is disgusting. Monster truck status.

If you want a stretch, I would do 215/45 up front and 235/40 rear. You could do a 225/45 up front but that's tall. That's about the same as a 255/40 which is a lot of meat and your front sidewalls would be noticeably larger than the rears.

If you want something with a little less stretch, you could do something like a 235/40 up front and a 245 or 255/40 in the rear.

What offset are the wheels you want? Also, you will need camber bolts and possibly coilovers. And may need other suspension parts to get a 10 with a spacer to fit.

The hub conversion may be cheaper than the other parts put together. Something to look into. My $0.02
