i was planning on re-lacing the stock hub with a 16x3. im currently running a 16x150 tire on the back and thought about a 130 on the front. im wondering if the rear suspension needs to be lowered a bit due to the smaller diameter of the new tire?

i want to put a 16 in the back but i dont know what to buy ot what to do
sould you give me a parts list of what you needed mabye even part numbers if you have them and any other info on the job
also does it lower the rear at all or does it sit about the same. let me know if there are any canges good/bad with the 16 in the rear
