Default Offset Spindles

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone is aware of any spindles that may be available for narrowing the track of the front wheels. I have a stock control arm and spindle set-up with some lowering springs installed. This has resulted in the front tires rubbing on the inner fender when going over larger bumps. I need to have the wheels move inward (narrower) by about 3/8" - 1/2"
I'd prefer not to use different rims on the front to accomplish this offset / narrowing but wasn't sure if there was a different way to do this. I could re-position the pivot point on the lower control arms but then that would also change the positioning of the spring pocket which may cause interference issues.
It is a 1981 Z28 by the way

Any ideas from others are welcome ... thanks, Dale

One outer spline should lift the rear end around 6cm or 2,36 inches. One inner spline should lift it with 5,5cm, or around 2,16 inches
