Still working on the front suspension...
My plan is to cut the wheels out of motorcycle wheel blanks 18"x5.5" in the back and 21"x3.25" in the front.

I envy your AutoCadd skills! An old general rule of thumb is to look for nominal six to eight inches of OD drop back to front, "rubber rake" as they say. With your 18's to 21's and selected tires will you have much drop, or are you looking at the drop being quite a bit less? Just curious what you're planning.
