Can I substitute a 150/70-17 on back of my '93 LT?

No...the rim is too small(narrow) for a 150/70....
You can put a 11RS rear rim on it....its a 4.5in wide rim and mount a 160/60 radial and mount a 110/80 radial on the front LT rim. |

Since I've got some spare RS rear wheels in the basment, that's what I'm planning for my next set of tires.
