Jimmy

I currently have disc brakes on my 64 (stock height spindles)

I have ordered a set of 2 1/2 inch drop modular spindles from CPP, as I want to lower the front end.

The current wheels & tires fit fine.

Presently I'm running :

Tire 225/60/15

Wheel 15x7 --- 6x5.5 bolt pattern ---3.5 backspace (-9.00 offset) 4.252 ? 108 mm center bore

Will the addition of the drop spindles introduce any wheel or tire issues ??


Also if I install 1'or 2" drop springs in addition to the drop spindles, will I need to order drop shocks, and shock relocation brackets.

These are my wheels
