Re: 3" drop spindles with 95 silverado wheels! spacer question
 
You'll have to grind the lower a-arm to clear (just don't grind past the radius). I had to take quite a bit of material off my spindles and the caliper to make my old 15" wheels fit. There is a ton of meat there, not an issue. If I'm thinking right those wheels don't have as much offset as a set of rallyes, so should work without a spacer after some grinding.
