Help! drop spindle question

Dont shoot me! Ive been a board member since 07 and have had countless 47-66 chevy trucks.
But I currently am working on a 1953 OT truck setting on a 85 C10 chassis...

I bought this to throw together a quick shoptruck, but being the front is borderline too wide for the OT front sheetmetal, I know I have work to do.

It already has 3" DJM drop spindles and 2" drop coils.

One question I have is...

Anyone run a 3" drop spindle with 15" steel wheels?

I found 15x5 steelies at Summit with 3.5" b.s. so I think those will pull wheels in to clear truck coming down over wheels/tires.

But with junk rollers on it, and no caliper yet, it just looks weird, like not enough room for rotor n caliper and no scrub..
maybe Im just seeing things...

just remember, its a 85 C10 chassis...
