spindle question
I have a 69 Chevy with 2 1/2 drop spindles. Im using the same size tire combo I had before I switched to 5 lug. Also same wheel offset. The spindles Im using are from CPP. Now my tires stick out further than I would like. What spindles do I need to tuck the tires in a little more? Or are there other alternatives?

You could shorten the control arms. While they are out you could also Z the lower balljoint for more drop.

I believe you want DJM Spindles. I know Bell Techs push wheel out 1/4" or so.

I don't know first hand but have heard some dropped spindles increase the track width by 3/4" per side. I wouldn't like that either.

I used early classic spindal on my 72 and no problems. Call Dave up at early classics, he can set you up.
