Hi, i have a set of dropped spindles on a 69 karman convertable, if you get the right set there is no increase in the track, the wheels on the front
are a set of porsche boxters that are 16" x 6" with a 55 et and 195/55/16 toyo's, the only problem was a small decrease in the turning circle with
the tyre touching the trailing arms, i think that the 195's are the largest that i can run on the front with standard guards, the et 41 should work
ok

Hello,
How did you go with your drop spindles?
What size tyre did you end up running?
