OK, a couple of weeks ago I installed my 2.5" McGaughys Drop Spindles, new rotors and calipers: all went well.

Question is, what should i do? Spacers, which I believe will push them too far out? Different wheels? Grind "just enough" on the spindle in order to gain the necessary clearance needed? These are the original 8" rally wheels that I really don't want to change.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Mike
