those the new spindles? i know that the drop spindles i got came with flipped ball joints and i had to grind down about 1/4 of an inch so that my wheels would clear and i only have 14s. most people will tell you that you need at least 17s though but as you can see with my truck that is not the case. you just have to find rims with the right offset and dimensions and everything cause my other 14s looked like how your rims look now and they wont fit at all. you may just need a different rim.

why not just run stock spindles? you can lay out with 18s on stock parts. you can lay with 20s if you mod the parts some. I have a set of drop spindles layin in my garage because im bagged on 17's. didnt need them. If you was to keep it stock then id say rock them but since youre not i would take them off.

well i am gonna run 18s eventually but i want the spindles to eliminate camber... right now i have almost zero camber when the wheel is tucked...

ahh well thats a pretty good answer then haha. well then i would take the tie rod loose. put the nut back on it. cut the shaft off against the nut with a saw and then file the sides smooth again so that it wont rub. thats about the only thing you are going to be able to do besides space the wheel and you cant do that cuz you still need it to tuck.

just get 6.5inch wide rims like me and you'll have no problem.
