My understanding is that they will fit. When I did this swap I changed the spindles too but some people have stated that they were able to reuse the originals with possibly some very minor grinding. I believe there is a little different offset on the spindle to account for the wider rotors but apparently not enough to be a problem. Hopefully they will chime in...

Hey Gunner,

Yeah, it's a pretty easy conversion. They will fit fine on the 75 spindles, but you may have to remove/tweak your brake dust covers a bit as well as possibly a very subtle grinding of casting #s on the spindle to clear the wider vented rotor.
