    im not sure if this is the right area to post this, but i am curious as to what is required of a 15x7 wheel to make it fit with the belltech 2" drop spindles? i know there is something tricky to this but im not sure what exactly it is... any help would be great, considering mini trucks are slightly new to me ive played around with them here and there but never really in-depth.

    What do yuu mean to make a 15x7 inch rim to fit with beltech drop spindles?? The spindles will drop the truck about two inches, and you can run 18" and 19" rims with that.

    Yes i know but ive heard there are fitment issues with the upper ball joint hitting the rim unless you have the correct offset. So i am trying to figure out what i need as far as an offset for it to fit correctly

    My 14x7s are close to zero offset, so any thing with zero offset or negative offset will clear. Not sure on how much of a positive offset you can go before hitting the ball joint

    With my 15x8 and a 20mm offset i was hitting the upper balljoint (no drop spindals, just cranked the torsions). with a 10mm or lower offset you should be fine. think even a 15 will clear.
