spring relo: offset vs. mini tub for handling?

Perhaps another option might be to figure out what offset works on the front, buy 4 wheels that match and then build a rearend to work with that? If you didn't want to worry about spacers.

More for someone that might be thinking about a different rear axle anyway, rather than a guy that is happy with what he has and just wants new wheels and tires.

72bluNblu's method sounds very workable, just an idea.
