Thanks Flash, I'll check them out.

So, would I be OK in the area of:

Front 8" wide rim with 4.75" BS
Rear 9.5" wide rim with 5.5" BS

Or would I be safer with a 9" rear rim with ?? backspacing?

I have stock front discs for now and rear drums.
As I said, at some point in the future I'll be lowering aprox 2", probably with the ridetech setup.

I want to get as wide a rear tire as possible while still not getting too close to rub.

I'm also thinking I'll want to go with a 26" or 27" tall rear tire.
