Im Thinking About Purchasing Some Bear Brakes Fr. And Back For My 70, I Have 18" Ar Tt2 Classics. I Think I Read Somewhere That The Baer Brakes Will Not Fit With Those Wheels, Maybe In The Instructions Or Soemthing Is Where. Anybody Hear Of This, Or Maybe It Was Just The Certain Kit, I Dont Know?

Depends what spindles, what brakes, what rotor offset, and what caliper face clearance.

Torq Thrusts don't have much clearance from the hub mounting pad to the backside of the spokes so you often run into caliper face clearance issues especially with larger calipers or rotors with very little offset. Also, the stepped hoop can cause radial caliper clearance problems with larger rotors.
