Random question: Do you remember the backspacing on your front rims? My Scotts seems like the rotor sits pretty far back towards the frame. Also, what did you end up with on clearance between the front tire and fender?

Thanks again for helping me out so much at the beginning of my project.
Hey bud, good hearing from you, glad to see your getting some work done on it. For my front wheels they are 8" wide with 4.5" back spacing on them. if you get a measurement from your rotor to your frame I'll compare it to mine, also your hub to hub track width.
as for tire to fender I have 3.5" of clearance. Remember when you ride these trucks low your going to need some clearance for turning. having then this low your always going to rub some where ( its just the nature of the beast) question is, when you get a good turning radius do you want it to rub on the outer lip of the wheel opening of the fender or the frame. I pick the frame because its a smooth surface and no one will ever see the rub mark . the wheel opening on your fender is going to chew up your tires and even worse damage your fender a bit. mine rubs just ever so slightly on the frame at full steering lock. hope this helps.
