their old ones did not, but the ones they sell now widen the track a little.

Note: CB Dropped Spindles drop your ride a full 2 1/2" and extend the tires out 1/2" on either side.
this is from the cb site.
I dont think the link pin ones were a full 1/2" ea side, but definately some added offset.

Your on the money there xornge666x, I'm running a 4 1/2 inch narrowed beam, but with the CB Drop Spindles, I can only achieve a 4 inch narrowed look
unless I use early Oval drums, which are thinner.
