ECE drop spindles with 6" 4 nubs

I have 6" wide 4 nub steelies on my truck. Will rubbing be an issue on the control arm? 4 nubs are made to clear disc brakes but I am not sure about the rest. Thanks.

I'm running 6" 6 lug 4 nubbers on my 69 with an ECE 4" drop kit. No rubbing or clearance issues whatsoever.

On steel wheels, the "nubs" for the smaller hub caps to grip on.

Re: ECE drop spindles with 6" 4 nubs

4 nubs have an offset that will clear disc brakes. 3 nubs do not.
