Lowering,10" Rally's, and tire size?

I am still trying to decide how low i wanna go with my drop on my 74 squarebody. I currently have 15" wheels on,10" rallys on the rear, and 8" rallys in the front. Tires in front are 255x60x15 and the rears are 275x60x15. I look like the look of a wide tire all way round and was wondering if I put 275x60x15's all way around, what would be the lowest front and rear drop I could go with out rubbing or other issues?

Found this pic on this board. Here is the look i am after, with wide wheels and a stance that has it just above the tires. You think he has like 275x60 type tires on this ride?

Did you have to notch the rear? I hear alot of people on here say that they did a flip, and did not have to notch. What alldid you do to the rear to get the 6" drop? And What all did you do to get the front where its at? By the way, i have the cooper cobra tires on mine as well, nice tires they are i think.
