On a 4/6, drop - with the 8.5" front wheels I would have gone 5.25" backspacing without question, and rear 10" wheels the 5.5" backspacing. Not sure what he ended up choosing.

For me, 5~5.5" has been the comfort zone for the front on an 8.5" wheel.

Here's a recent example, 20x8.5 front with 5.25" backspacing, and 20x10 rear with 6" backspacing:
