Re: drop spindle selection
Also, another thing that has come to light recently is the "old school" and "new school" spindles. The OS ones typically space out the wheel about 3/4" from the stock drums (some a little more) and can allow some stock steel 15x8 wheels clear because of moving the wheel out more BUT this can create issues with your tires rubbing the wheel lip depending on what size you run.
The NS style keeps the wheels spaced in correctly but it also moves the lip near the a arm and you're more likely going to have rubbing issues with 2.5" dropped ones versus 2" dropped ones.
There are a lot of ways things can turn out depending on wheels, tire size, spindle type, etc. There are just so many variables to be 100% sure. Good luck!
