balancing weights hiting ball joint

My Cragars on my 69 Dart did the same thing from the day I put them on 39 years ago. 3 and 1/2 BS. So I had to by a set of wheel spacers from the speed shop that I bought my wheels from to move the wheel out a bit so that the inside weight would clear the oputer lip of the ball joint. I rememeber a note that came with the wheels at the time saying that in some cases wheel spacers may be needed to clear the upper lip of the ball joint. The lip cleared fine but the wheel weight was right at the location where the outer edge of the ball joint came close to the wheel edge and it would scrape the weight just a little bit.

So I've run the spacers ever since and been okay. Even after I redid the car and installed all new bushings/joints it still came to close for comfort for my liking so the spacers are still being used.
