Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
I have 2" Belltech drop spindles on my '03.
Currently running 225/70/15 tires, have had 235/60/15s in the past. I am running 80s Camaro RS wheels on my truck, and had to add a 3/16" wheel spacer to keep the tierods from running the wheel.

Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
Do the Belltech Spindles space the wheel out any from stock? I read on another forum that they changed the spacing outward and I am trying to verify if that is true or not.

Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
I have heard that too. I cannot tell you for certain (I didn't measure) but I don't think they did on my truck. I have not had any wheel/tire rub on the fenders. Then again, I am only at a 2/2" drop, and it might if the truck was lower.

Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
Does anyone have any experience with the Belltech spindles to know if they change the spacing outward? Their Tech information does not provide that detail.

Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
Tires themselves fit just fine. They are only a 1/4" taller than stock. No rubbing or other issues.

Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
Anyone else have experience on how big I can go on a 15" seventy five series tire on stock seven inch factory aluminum swirl wheels on a stock 98 4cyl with 2" drop spindles?

Re: Drop spindles 98 S10
I tried 235/75-15 they rub on the lower inside wheel wells at full lock. Next tried 225/75-15 they fit with just a slight amount of rub at full turning.
