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.

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

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.
