I vote don't even bother with trying to fit 6x9's in the rear at all. Instead- A: Keep the stockers; B: just don't use them, or C: remove them altogether. Sell them for some cash or another small upgrade somewhere... Some sound deadening will add minimal weight and make substantial improvements in SQ.
I recommend: Stick with the rest of your plan to do a good 6.5" component set up front with a 10" sub in the back. You get a clean front sound stage without the extra noise coming from the 6x9's behind you. A lot of people like extra speakers because it makes the music sound "richer" and "more speakers must be better", but in the end it just causes listener fatigue by scattering the detailed sound. Surround sound is different, it needs the zones, but this is just stereo L+R. Crossover and EQ everything as best you can, (and time align it if possible) and the overall sound quality will be better than with the extra rear speakers.
If you absolutely NEED sound from the back, keep the gain low and use them only for fill, maybe just enough to barely hear them. Dial back the high frequencies if possible to keep the detail and focus on the primary (front) drivers that are creating the sound stage.
