Title: another beam/dropped spindle question....
Post by: beetletom on March 08, 2010, 18:13:33 pm
is it ok to run cb dropped spindles on a stock width beam with adjusters
running on 66 steels and 135/70 tyres?

You running drums, or a disc conversion?? The spindles will push the track out a bit, but with 135's you should get away with it if you're still on drums, if you dont go too low.

You *should* be ok as long as you don't crank the beam down too far.

Plus with stock wheels you will have no problems either.

You'll be fine if you're running drums. I'm running the C.B. two and half inch drop spindles and have had Flat Four BRM and four and a half 356 wheels with both 135 & 145 tires with zero rubbing or any problems.
