The Burb
I plan to swap out my 3.73 2WD 10-bolt 5-lug for a 4.56 4WD 14-bolt SF 6-lug rear end. I had a couple questions regarding the brakes. I have RC's 4" spindles in the front, so I plan to just use the 2500LD rotors up front to convert to 6-lug. So I have the back to do now. I know I can't use my almost brand new drums and shoes from my 10-bolt which sucks, but I also don't want to convert them to discs, too much extra work for me right now. So I am looking at the drums for the back and there are two main different ones:

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...8-p?navigationPath=L1*14921|L2*16462|L3*15688 - Rear w/11" Brakes
Would one of these be better than the other in my case? If I went with the larger ones, what size minimum rims would I need? I was looking at a set of 16x8's, hopefully they would fit:

However if I can still fit 15x8's, then I want these, better look IMO and I can find more tires I like that fit them:

Any help would be great, thanks.
