Wheel clearance

I'm looking to lower the front of my 66F100 3" in front and 4" in rear w/ 20" wheels. What offset and rim width will fit up front best w/o rubbing? Just want to get an idea so I can keep a look out for deals.

Side note what newer 20" wheels fit 5x5.5"...seems most trucks/cars are running 6x5.5 or 5x5

The pre-twin I-beam suspensions were narrower than the twin I-beam so if you get an answer from someone make sure they have a similar year truck and aren't running a Crown Vic front end or something like that.
