It depends. I am assuming you are mini tub? So we usually do a 6 to 6.25 backspace. Although I did buy a dozen custom 19" outer rims shells to be able to do a 6" lip on Lisa's Project EmptyNest which is right at 5" backspace or so. Looks KILLER! On the front, a 8" rim with 4 3/4 backspace is usually good on stock track width and give a nice 2" lip. Again, though if you are designing the front suspension from scratch, you would want to make the arms as long as possible, changing you backspace. Brake caliper clearance also will be a dictator here.

If you would like to talk through this you are welcome to call
