I have a 2.5 drop with original A arms. Can't tell you the brand of caliper, but they're western spindles and stock looking single piston calipers. I have Wheel Vintiques 15x7's front and 15x8's rear, and they will swap front to rear with no rim clearance problems. I'm going to be dropping it another 1 inch in front, so I went with 7" width for maximum clearance, but I don't see why 8"s wouldn't work depending on tire size.
