Much appreciated. It looks like you have about 3/4” between the upper taper of the spindle and your rim?

How do you like the ride? I just purchased the maxtrac lowering spindles and I currently have adjustable lowering belltech struts that I'm gonna use to get the 3" in the front.

I'm possibly going to be in the same pickle with these spindles. I just bought them and after the fact (smh) my brain decided to start working and I realized it said 22" or larger wheels with a MAXIMUM backspace of 6". For some reason it registered in my mind as minimum. Anyway, I have 22x10's with a +30 offset, so that puts me a solid half-inch over what they recommend. I'll probably have to go buy a wheel hub assembly and test fit it with my wheel to see what kinda fit I'll get. My luck I'll be screwed.

Those 22 should be fine I'm running 20s with 30 backspace fit fine I had to grind off my lower ball joint stud those 22s should be good with no trimming needed

Thanks. It’s hard to tell from your pics, but how close is the tie rod or the tie rod ear of the knuckle to rubbing your wheel?

They will but I certainly would not want to use them. Reason being is because you have to trim off a lot of the ball joint threads and have to use this thin nut in place of the factory ball joint nut. When I held it in my hand and looked at it, I thought no way in hell would I trust it. 24’s require zero trimming of the stud and 22’s require a little bit. I have 22x10’s with a 6.7 backspacing and they fit no problems. Trimmed maybe 1/4” and used the factory nut. No concerns that way.
