I just finished my 5 lug upgrade(18X9's Cobra brakes etc) and I like a dummy used 1996 spindles instead of 1994 now I have a crazy rubbing issue and need some advice I am going to get some 1994 spindles but what else can I do to make them fit? I've heard of having the fenders rolled but I don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to ! [Confused]

seems like rolling the fenders would make the most sense, why are you against it?

Roll them

Is it heavy rubbing, or just minor. There is only 8mm difference between the 94-95 and 96-04 spindles, so It may not make a difference and you will need to roll the fenders anyway.

I have 99GT spindles in the front and i have only very minor rubbing issues. I massaged the front fender a little bit and I have no more rubbing at all. Unless I dive into a turn really hard but I dont do that anymore since I hvae no front swaybar [Smile] The 96 spindles are fine man. Although, I have an LX and a GT will rub more than my setup does.
