Why not use a wheel spacer? It will move the wheel out just like the late model hub assembly and then you can use a flat wheel.

Years ago for a SEMA Show truck I used a stock 1999 spindle, welded the lower ball joint taper solid, and tapered the spindle for the 67-72 lower ball joint. This will lower the truck about 3". I also used CPP tubular control arms. It was a long time ago, but I think I rember the rotor would hit the original lower arm. This truck was on air bags, and used CPP tubular upper arms. The upper arms are longer and make the truck alighn more easily.
