Alright guys so I purchased a 5 lug/brake conversion kit and it looks like the spindles that came with the kit are 96-98 and the wheels that I have are 17x8 up front with an offset of 26mm and the backspace is 5.11in. Do you think these wheels will stick out too far, or should I just ditch these and buy the correct 94-95 spindles? Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

17x8 is the largest you will be able to run up front without rubbing

They will NOT stick out. I have them on Hack Job and they sit in the fenders still. However, if you put 17X9's with a +24 offset...which is standard, they will stick out about 1/2". Do it, you'll be fine.
