A 7.75" BS will have the wheels even with the quarters. You will need to roll the fender lips with that setup if you are lowered or you will risk cutting the tire. I prefer this setup.

Going with a 8" BS will tuck each wheel in 1/4". Almost similar to the stock setup.

reall7y- it is a quarter of an inch...very littl difference. You'll need and adj panhard to perfectly center the rear..and prolly hammer the inner fenderwells.

I ran 7.75 BS and didn't have to hammer mine- but I rolled the outer fender lip to be safe.
