B310 steering arms

I've started work again on the old 210 (b310). I got the front suspension buttoned up and tried my wheels on the front for the first time. With the 280zx struts and the stock steering arms, the 15x8 et0 wheels hit the tie rod ends. No bueno. To get the wheels bolted up, I had to throw 10mm of spacer behind them. Needless to say, a 15x8 et-10 is too much poke.

 

What are my options as far as steering arms are concerned? I need something shorter or something that angles in toward the center of the car more. Will a 15x8 clear on a pl510 with Zx struts? I am assuming that the ball joint taper is similar between the two. I know the steering geometry will potentially change, but I can figure all that out.

 

I'd post pics, but I need to figure out how to do so without those photobucket assholes.

I can't see why they would hit unless the 280zx hub wheel mounting surface is also moved in closer to the car center. If this is the case, a spacer will only move it back where the stock rim was.

 

Try the zx steering arms.

That is exactly the problem. The zx struts narrow the front track. I have a hunch that that, coupled with the b310 arms is causing the issue. I haven’t heard of it from the 510 guys. I assume the geometry of their steering arms allows the wheel to fit. From my understanding, the zx uses a larger ball joint, is this the case?
