I got a pair of front Boge struts from a '69 911. The kind with a M10x30 bolt that holds the lower joint. I ordered new bearings for them but the inner bearing wont go down all the way.....

Is the problem with both bearings and both spindles? You might polish the spindles with some fine wet or dry sand paper. Check the finish of the inner bearing race. Grease will help a lot. I have always been able to slide them on with no problem. I have some used bearings at the shop and can compare dimensions to what you show.
