I have a 69 gmc and need to know if 6.5" van rally's will fit in front if using 2 1/2" drop spindles? Thought i remember hearing there was possible issues with this. thanks

Re: 6.5" van rally's
If you have an issue, it will likely be a matter of trimming the outer edge of the lower A-arm or clearance.....longhorn

Re: 6.5" van rally's
Edit:crazy longhorn types faster than me. Ha
They have a 4" backspace just like the 15x8 rally wheels. You might have to trim the lower a-arm on both sides of the lower balljoint. No big deal. 10 minutes per side with a grinder and a cut-off wheel.

Re: 6.5" van rally's
i have 6.5" van rallies mounted on Early Classic Ent. 2 1/2" drop spindles and it's also on air bags with NO rubbing issues and NO trimming.

Re: 6.5" van rally's
15x7's have a 3-5/8" backspace.
I still trim the a-arms so all wheels will fit. Depending on how bulky the spindle castings are, some people even have to clearance the outer tie rod arm of the spindle..
