You need to keep your scrub line in consideration. That means you should be able to put just your rims on your ride after its put together and the only thing that should touch the ground is the the rims.

As for the frame length. Lay everything out on the garage floor how you want it and start measuring things out. If your doubting yourself make the pieces a bit long and cut them down later.

I only ever start the frame when I have the front and rear suspension mocked up and rolling on the wheels .
