Go with 6" up front and at least 7" in the rear - you will stay tucked. You can go 7.5" in the rear if you want to truly clear that fender lip - in case you to come down more.

My homework is done already for this. I'm going with the same size wheels, 6" front bs, 7" rear bs - except I'm going with 265/50 and 295/45 - I wanted a tad taller tire for the higher load rating.

It may be what you are going after, but you do realize that your front tire size is a smaller diameter than your rear tire size?

Pretty similar setup as Smokinrice, but he has a 4/6. Ever thought about slamming it?

yup... but changed my mind... a 5.5 backspace would keep me in the contention for a slam in the future though.. correct?

Mine are 20X8.5 at all four corners w/ 6" b.s. 5.5" might not cut it. Rears would need to be about a 7" b.s. I would think.

Check w/ Bryan (Introwheels) as those Intros used to be his. I'm sure that he could help you w/ the backspacing question.

you'll need 7.5" (with the 10" wide) for the rear backspace if you want to drop 6" and clear. 7" bs you will have to roll the lip. But for a 4" drop, either should to fine.

im not going to go any lower, except maybe another 2" in the back. with this tire sidewall size, you guys dont think there would be too much gap do ya?
