Default Scarebird disc brake conversion

I'm doing the disc brake to drum spindle conversion using the Scarebird brackets for my 68 Firebird as I want to keep the 14" rally 2's (JC code). I've used the parts as recommended, including the Chevy Celebrity calipers and Monte Carlo rotors. Everything has bolted together fine except rather than moving the wheel out 1/8 or 1/4 like a lot of other kits this moved my wheel inboard .30". Problem is the inner lip of the wheel now has zero clearance with the steering arm ball joint. So the wheel needs to move out. I guess I could use a wheel spacer and longer studs, but first wondering if anyone else who used the Scarebird kit for first gen Firebirds had this issue? Thanks.
