I would just like make sure before I order the wheels. I would hate to have to pay to ship the wheels back. Thanks.
If you search my past posts, I have built about 6 trucks since I've been on this board, all of them with drop spindles. I'm kind of a picture whore so there's plenty of images to see. My current truck has drop spindles and 15x8 with 4.25 backspace and no issues with lots of clearance to spare.
