I vote no because many aftermarket spindles stick the wheels out like, two inches? If I reply here, maybe somebody that knows will reply . ......

No? 4 inch backspacing is fairly standard. What brand of spindles?

Yes, probably.

I have BellTech 3" spindles, 15x8" 'Vette rallys, with 4" backspacing, and I'm running a 1/4" spacer as well. I don't know if it makes a difference, but my truck is a '77.

Typically the only time the wheel track is widened with aftermarket spindles is when you have a truck with drum brakes and convert to disc brakes. The disc brake spindles move the wheels out some but its less than a inch. If the truck already has disc brakes the track width should not change.
