Re: If lowered 2.5 how wide a wheel.......
I know you can go 8" with no issues. I would guess 10" would probably work depending on the back spacing. You would probably run into interference with the lower control arm before the inner fenders became an issue.

I understand the back spacing on the 10" wheels is the same as on the 8" so the rub would most likely occur on the front side of the tire.

Yes it will, I'm running 2.5" WC spindles and had 10" front rims with a 275/60/15 and the fender lip ate the tire up. I had to go to a 15x8" with a 255/60 to cure it, I think the 275 would work on a 8" rim, but I dont like the way they look on there so I went with the 255.

I'm running 8" rally wheels with 255/70/15 tires and 2.5" spindles. No rubbing.

Re: If lowered 2.5 how wide a wheel.......
I plan to go with 10s on the back eventually, but my tires are almost new. I probably won't be doing it for a while. Its not like I have any traction problems with a stock 350.
