I purchased a disc brake kit from pirate jacks, therefore my 69 barracuda with small bolt pattern 14 inch wheels. Currently I have a set of 14 inch steel rims 4 1/2 inch. I’m getting a little Rub from the caliber. I did a little grinding on the caliper to see if that would correct the issue but don’t wanna grind too much. I’m thinking about putting a small spacer between the hub and the wheel to see if that helps.
Any suggestions on where I might find a spacer for SBP hub?

You can purchase 1/4" spacers, but be careful that you have enough stud length.

Stay away from universal multi-hole spacers unless the center hole fits snug over the disc center.
If not you will never get them centered and keep the wheel balanced.
 
Those calipers look like the garden-variety Mopar 'sliders' so - have you considered the factory 14 by 5.5" ralleys - or just the plain (wider) steel rims? Those skinny wheels were horrible.

Thanks and yes
I am posting a WTB ad for the 5.5 steel wheels
 
Might be an "apples & oranges" situation here, but I tried a 14" X 4 1/2" sbp STEEL wheel on my SSBC equipped front disc brake '71 Dart GT. It didn't fit. So, I contacted SSBC and they assured me the 14" X 5 1/2" STEEL wheel would fit. It didn't.

Oddly enough, the factory 14" X 5 1/2" RALLYE wheel fits perfectly (picture).

I would suggest borrowing a 14" X 5 1/2" STEEL wheel to test it. My .02 cents!
