Default my new project

well, since my truck is damaged now i'm gonna put it in the shop for a total makeover...shaved back end, new hood/grille/front bumper...i'm also lowering it, but i'm going with a totally new rear suspension setup. i'm going 4 link with coil overs and a panhard bar, dropzone in arlington texas is doing the work. i will have to buy another size tire probably when it is finally lowered, they are taking it down 3/4, i have american racing thrusters 17"x8", with goodyear eagle gtII 275/60r17 tires and i feel they will rub with a 3/4 drop...anyone have any ideas of a tire size that'll fill the fenders on a 3/4 and still not rub? give me some feedback on my new setup and any suggestions or comments are welcome.

check some wheel sites for your wheel and find out..
and you can always take the wheel off and measure the backspacing..... - how - ask someone or check FSC
