Couple of questions...

1)Would an 8" rear end have two different bearing sizes or would I not have to worry about that. I have a four lug axles right now. I want to go up to five lug with a different 8". My car is a 1970 Maverick and the donor car would be a 1977 four-door I believe.

2)Can I fit a 245/50/16 tire under the front wheel wells if I cut ever so slightly the fender lip? Since I would not want anymore backspacing or offset would the tires stick out too far? Could I cut the inside frame rails any? Lower the upper control arm to clear the rim? I want ultimate performance and am willing to cut up my Maverick to do it. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any help is appreciated
