I used the 3" spindles with 8" ralleys, they rubbed the control arm. put 7" ralleys on and all is good obviously it is the back spacing. I would say, 3" back spacing or less and you would be ok, I also have 1" coil drop

Thanks for the info.

I've never checked the backspacing on the wheels, but if I had to guess; I'd say its somewhere around the 4 1/2" range.

Sad thing is I just bought new tires all around. Guess I'll just get some coils cut.
