Hey Just,

What profile tyre's are you running on the stock steel's?? and duz it scrape the front inner arch at all??
I wanted to know if I could run dropspindles 3 1/2 inch drop with stock tyres but I dont want rubbing!!
Stiffening it up with adjustable shocks will help I guess.
I love the real white walls (California style) so dont want low profile tyres.

Cheers,
Paul.

NO! You can't run stock tyres with dropped spindles - that was the reason I sold my spindles :(
Bus looks great BTW Just :D

Mine are 185/75/R14 straight from the US,

You can run with dropped spindles without any rubbage at all and still use standard shocks too........

Just make sure they are WagenWest and not TH ones, the WW are only 2.5" and I ran that for a year or so without any kind of problem, the problem is when you go the extra inch, it just isnt worth the hastle IMO

Bit of an update, thanks to Bundy I have working side markers, the n/s was missing a lamp holder, so now wired in with new lamps

Sorry, yeah I assumed you meant TH ones - 185 R14 work out at about 185/85 I think??
Whitewalls do suit the bus well 8)
