Bottom Brackets

I'm looking to up grade my Crankset. Right now I have 68/116. Would I run in to any problem with a spindle length: 113, 115, 118? Or is that a small increase or decrease in length it wouldn't matter? Thanks

It's really not rocket science. Use the manufacturer-recommended spindle length for whatever crankset you buy. Specs exist for a reason.
