Same as all others with the exception of CPP's 2" Modular drop spindles.

I put a 1975 front end under mine back in 1997, and never noticed it was wider until reading about it on this forum over a decade later. It can become a critical issue depending on how much the front end is lowered, and may require careful attention in selecting wheel offset and tire size.
