Yea it’s been a few years, I don’t recall having any issue with doing it and riding on stock springs I think has its advantages.

also note if you have stick on weights inside the wheel. with stock 18's we had to trim the lower balljoint a good amount onto the threads to make sure it cleared the weights with an amount of space i was comfortable with. pic is with the stock 18's with 3" in the front and 4" in the rear.

We had to cut the ball joint stud AND install thinner nuts before the factory steel wheel would go on. I seem to remember there was a bit more clearance on one side vs. the other, but both had to get the trim and thinner nut.

I believe my spindles came with thinner nuts that we ended up using as well.
