Re: what spindles to run
I have the DJM 3" spindles on my 85 with the 15x8 rims. <-- I think 8"
Anyways I was able to put the rims on but not turn them when first installing the spindles. I had to grind a tiny bit of metal off the spindle just above where the top of the caliper sits. Don't worry about the grinding the metal though- I was literally like thousandths of an inch I took off. Best drop for your money without changing the geometry of the suspension in my opinion. The spindes ran like 220 or so for the 1 1/4" big brakes. -Jeremy

Re: what spindles to run
I always use the DJM 3" spindle.
15" wheels will require some grinding for clearance |
