Considering our wheel base what would be the best choice?

I'm hoping by "6 wheel drive wide robot with 18.5" wheelbase" you mean the distance between your front and back wheels are 18.5", with the distance between your center wheels and the outer wheels being 9.25". In every scenario I've seen, 1/8" is the perfect amount for a drop on a 6wd.
