There are three different lengths of steering arms, however regardless of which arms you have, I think yours are going to hit.
I run about 5.06" of backspacing on an 18 x 8.5 wheel with stock spindles and it's close but not too close. There are plenty of reasons to go with drop springs instead of drop spindles, and that's just one of them.
The rear could be close on either side depending on how centered your rear axle is under the car, but plan on rolling the fender lips for sure. How much drop will also have an effect on your overall fitment, but I assume you'll be matching the front more or less.

Iam not sure if i matters or not but the spindles have the fixed steering arms. so would it be better to run a 7in wheel in the front and maybe run like a 235 tire? shoud i just run a 8in wide wheel in the back to make sure that they fit with no issues?
