Great info! I am planning to order wheels today or tomorrow and I came up with nearly the same number you did. I put two 7/16-20 on 3 of the studs and then installed the mockup wheels. This gave me a simulated back spacing of 3.625" and 67.75" from outside to outside of tire.
Thank you
Sounds good to me. I think your 3.625 sounds really good. I think you'll end up with what you want at that BS. Good luck, and I'll be looking out for a post when you get the wheels and tires mounted. Should look really good.
Fifty Five - I am not sure if I didn't read it before but whose spindle are you using? 2" dropped or not? I believe the Heidt's is part number SP-002 in red powdercoat 2" dropped. I am going to call Jegs today and ask why on thier web site it specifies in the description the a-arms are in fact black powdercoat. I spoke with Mark at Heidt's and he has said they don't even offer them in black PC. JEGS typo?
Furthermore, this has been a very helpful discussion and I hope to have it dialed in by the end of the week so I can order it all by the end of the week.
Sorry Bad37, I'm running the Heidt's 2" drop spindles on ours. Ours are about 3-4 years old, so I don't know if the part numbers are the same. But they are the Heidt"s 2" drop spindles.
I'm never impressed with info on Jegs website. Seems like they just throw the part up there and you make sure it's what you want. If Heidt's says they don't coat them, I would say its a typo. I don't think Jegs takes them apart to coat them and puts them back together. We had to remove the ballpoints, and the bushings because of the heat from powdercoating. If you're going to coat the arms, I would highly recommend buying direct from Heidts and see if they can send you some arms disassembled. That way you can have them coated, then install the ballpoints and bushings. The ballpoints are $95 a piece, and not reusable.
Good to hear all of this helps. I had a heck of a time finding info like this when I was looking, let alone pictures. Look forward to hearing how it works out.
