The general concensus is they increase track width about .500" vs. OE disc brake spindles. CPP makes a spindle that they claim narrows (or does not increase?) the track width.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I've heard people claim .500" per side. I know I've read it's 3/8" per side on some Western Chassis documentation I had years ago. But, I've never documented before/after dimensions on any installs I've done. . . ....
