Re: Dropmember ?
An 8-8.5" wheel w/5".00 would work well.

Re: Dropmember ?
I'm running 20x8.5" with 4.5" backspacing. works fine for me. no rubbing with 70lbs of air which is a little less than I use at ride height. Some guys go with a little more backspacing.

Re: Dropmember ?
I recall seeing 64.5" front disc brake track width. Pre-71 trucks were 62" rear width; post-71 were 64-ish (wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface).
