Will adding drop spindles to a standard lowered beam cause my wheels to stick out a little further?

If they do, would anyone know how far they generally do?

Cheers Lee.

The CB Performance dropped spindles I bought DID.

About 15-20mm wider each side maybe, not real sure cause it's a bit hard to measure unless you got the right gear.

all will.

period

i thought the cbs added about 20mm in total.

but i agree, its hard to tell exactly.
specially for me as my beam was narrowed and other mods confused the situation even more

CB dropped spinnies add 1/4 of an inch each side, so total width gain is 15.7mm. So its not that bad.....this is cause they are cast and NOT welded. THe welded type add about an Inch overall (and more sometimes) and are no-where near as strong.....

N!
