When we use the Sunburst wheels (all 7.5" wide) in the back, we use extra-long control arms to widen the rear track for a better look. So, you must commit to your wheel width and offset if/when we build your rear suspension.
Bob - I guess the same would be true for the rear control arms if 7.5 inch S/C type wheels are used all around? I think they are all the same general backspace dimensions. Sounds like I need to figure this out quickly.

Can I also safely assume this (7.5 inch wheels in back) would provide much more room in the wheel wells for undercar exhaust?
