Lowering with dropspindles problems
So I just brought 2 145r15 tires for my 70 bug (lowering) and a person just told me that I will still rub while using drop spindles. If true I have
just wasted $200+

Depends on wheels, shocks, beam, brakes and height, but yeah, may still rub on a bigger bumps whilst turning

I have 135s and there is no chance of rubbing with drop spindles. It's has a good inch at least of room.

you really need to have wheels with a different ET, if the dropped spindles add 20mm a side then the wheel would have to have a increase of +20mm ET
to put your tyre back into its original position. ball joint spindles should only increase the track by 6mm a side, link pin spindles about 20mm a
side.
