Trevor is right you can not run a spacer, it will snap the studs. I am in the process of changing out the DRW to SRW rotors and making new arms longer. It seems by the research I have done this is the way to go.

Thanks guys!
Reyna Bros you have a literally a perfect stance now. Why the change?

Reyna Bros,
From the looks in your gallery. Are you running a custom front suspension using Chevy control arms and spindles?

Thanks, it's too perfect. When I lay it out there is probably a 1/16" of clearence between the tire and the fender leaving me no room to turn. So if I wanted to drive it around all the way down I couldn't. When I get the new 3/4 rotors it will narrow the track, but it will narrow it to much, so that's why I need longer arms so it will push my wheels out enough to turn and drive around. When it's all said and done from what I have now the wheels are going to sit in 3"

The suspension up front is all custom and running Chevy arms, rotors, and drop spindles.

I see your point. Please post pics of the new setup if you would. It will be one sick puppy! G

You probably shouldnt narrow any more than 1" Thats all the threads you will have room for on the steering tie rod ends. also you loose lots of lift as well.

I decided not to narrow the arms at all. Rather wait til I get my 22's and run SRW 1 ton hubs. This way since my spindles moved the wheels out 1", by using the SRW hubs they normaly narrow the track 3.5 per side. In my case the it would end up being 2.5 accounting for the 1" for the spindles. If it ends up looking too goofy I can always widen the arms a 1".
