Yeah, it's sitting at its highest setting. I'm not a big fan of rolling them real low ;) ;) On the real though, here's my 63 with a 4" narrowed beam, 135's, and Fuchs. Still rubs the headlight bucket a little. Buddy made these rub plates with holes :lol: :lol: You're gonna need to change the front tires to either 135's or smart car tires if you want it low..

I read about the headlight bucket plate plus more on the HVWs article. :thumbs:

I might no run the lowered spindles if that is the case. I do not need low-low. I need the clearance and will like to keep the 145s if po$$ible.
:evil: I did not have all this information before getting the spindles so I might use them later on with some 3.5 rims or something.

Spindles actually help with clearing the headlight bucket. For a given amount of lowering, the spindles keep the wheel more centered in the wheel well. With lowering the same amount by the beam only, the wheel will be moved forward, i.e. toward the bucket, due to the angle of the trailing arms.
