drop spindles with 15's?

Hi guys,
Has anyone ran 15x7 front wheels with 2.5 dropped spindles? I thought I heard that you needed to use a larger wheel? Thanks.

Well, I just put mine on my 70 Blazer with 2.5 drop spindles and they do rub on the lower a-arms. Also they hit the balance weights on the inside lip of the wheel.

i have a 66 with 15x7 and 4 '' backspacing early classic 2 1/2 drop spindles 215-65-15 tires and 3'' drop spring with zero problems not to push early classic but they make the spindle for your truck and make sure your wheels are for disc brakes and not drum
