I have a question about backspacing!

Just got finished with installing the CPP 2 1/2" drop spindles. Some where I had read that these would work with stock wheels(?) Anyway, Im running currently 15" chevy rallys---and they rub. So far I havent put the brakes back together but it looks like they are going to rub also. So far all I can confirm for sure is the steering knuckle rubs the outer edge of the wheel.

Now, on to the question-- Is anyone running droped spindles and 15" wheels-- If so, what backspcing are you running.

I may have to come up with some junk wheels as rollers until after the painting is done.
