Title: Flat 4 4-lug BRMS and CB drop spindles (with disc brakes)
Post by: bugnut68 on November 28, 2008, 18:52:42 pm
Do Flat 4 BRM repros fit with CB Performance dropped spindles?  I'm particularly interested in the rim to bottom ball joint clearance, as with these spindles wheel offset is crucial.  Thanks in advance!

Better narrow your beam!

Why Zach, geometry stays the same.

The added offset of the wheels and the extra width of the dropped spindles...

True, but i have that covered on my ride. ;D

Ryan, that would be a 2" narrowed front beam then...

Ah, nuts... due to my constrained budget, I guess chromies or stock painted steelies are my only options then.  It was worth a shot!

A stock width beam needs a narrow wheel with a lot of backspace (and skinny/shorter tires) to work with drop spindles.

I shoulda done my research before buying those dang spindles...lol.  Of course, you're talking to a guy that can never remember how he does even the simplest things, like bolting up the hanger for his QP muffler when switching back from a stinger. ;D
