I'm running 6-lug with drop spindles. Early Classic Enterprise has the 5 or 6 lug option.

When I rebuilt my rear end (ring and pinion, axles, bearings, everthing new lug nut to lug nut) I wanted to stay 6-lug so I wouldn't have to pack two spares around. A couple of years later when I decided to convert to disc brakes, I kept them 6-lug for the same reason (had a new 6-lug rear end). Then decided to go to drop spindles, so that was another re-do. That's why it pays to have a plan......

Edit: Never answered the original question. I'm running new Centerline rims without a spacer.
