I was also thinking a 5.00 -5.25 front backs space would work well I won't be runnin a inner fender and will trim the front lip .

At ride height the front wheels won't be near the fender lip while dropped the rim should sink in the fender well with a little negative camber .

I wonder if a 4.75 back space would work with what I'm trying to do .

I can help you with the back spacing and the wheels. We are running a special on Forgeline wheels right now and offering free shipping. You would need to run a 5.00B/S on an 8.5 It's a tight fit up front with the 20x8.5 Here is a picture of a customers car with 20x8.5 up front.
