Rims rubbing on lower balljoint
Hi,
My car is a 1970 standard, fitted with cb disc brake spindels. Trying to fit a set of Mahle 4 lug rims, 5,5" end ET 40 I think, they rub on the lower balljoint. How can I help this? Spacer, grinding? etc...?

Is the rim hitting the ball joint so you can't bolt wheel on? Spacers will fix. Or is it scraping on the inside of the rim after its bolted on? Bigger diameter rim needed if can't space far enough out.

Spacers would be cheaper than new rims, but if you went to 16" rims you would fix the scraping. Just make sure the spacers are just enough to correct scraping issue. Too much spacer, and wheels stick out past fenders
 , and can give you a wider track than the rear (unless you space rear too).

You could loose the dropped spindles, and use adjustable beam. Spacers and wider fenders look like your future though.
