    The time is come to put shoes on the frame to set my ride height. Here is my problem.

    The rims that I have are off of a pro-stock drag car with spindle mount disc. They do not have lug holes. The disk does bolt to the back of the rim but the rim is held on with the axle nut.

    The bearings in the rims is smaller than my chevy spindle.

    Who makes chevy spindles that will take drag rims?

    If I turn my spindle will it will weaken the spindle. I am powered by a blown big block with a short w.b. If my front wheels should lift I do not want to have my wheels fall off. Wheelie bars are part of the build.

    Short of buying new rims and disc what are my options?

    Spindle mounts are made for specific spindles. You either use the right spindle, or modify yours to fit. It's not a matter of finding Chevy spindles that will take drag rims.
