From my emails to Justin, he says he just had this conversation again with the owner and said that none of their spindles move the wheels out.
So I did some more searching today, and I found a few posts from others who've bought the modular spindles, that they do indeed bring the wheels in.

This is where the confusion is.
"They bring the wheels in",... compared to what?
Stock drum spindles, stock disc brake spindles, or drop disc brake spindles?
I have NEVER gotten a firm answer to this from CPP.
Here's what I see:
1) drum brake spindles have the narrowest track width. (still wider than the 60-69 narrow rearends).
2) disc brake spindles are 3/4" (per side) wider than drum brake spindles.
3) DROP spindles are about 1/2" wider (per side) than the stock height disc brake spindle.
(this is to allow more clearance at the lower balljoint)
So,... what is CPP's claim?
Their MODULAR drop spindles are the same as what?
There are 2 answers:
1) drum brake spindles?
2) stock height disc brake spindles?
No one at CPP will answer this question.
I challenge them now to produce track width numbers compared to stock.
Sure they are narrower than most "old school" C10 drop spindles,... but all the info gets confused when you talk 60-70 drum brake spindles, 71-72 disc brake spindles, or 73-87 disc brake spindles.
