Default QA1- THUMBS DOWN....Help!

I've been going back and forth with qa1 for awhile now but I'm exhausted at this point. First I bought a k-member and they told me I could use stock control arms. So I redid control arms and bolted everything up with the k-member all the way to the back. The wheels wouldnt turn almost at all without hitting the front. So I called qa1 and they said it only works in some scenarios and that I would need to order there control arms, so I did this. Bolted up all the new stuff and coil overs and now there still isnt enough clearance. The wheels are way to far forward. What can I do?

QA1 does move the wheels forward, I think they have 2 sets of control arms one that also puts them in the stock location. But I could be wrong about that.

I do have caster camber plates maybe there adjusted wrong? Will that allow me to move them outta the way? I would hope if there was 2 different arms they woulda told me since I told them my exact problem of hittin in the front. I attached a picture, to the left is the front of the car.

trust me the K member moves the front wheels forward I have seen it before I painted a car a few years ago that ran one. I would call them and ask if they have another arm. The one I painted ran skinnies on the front and it was not as bad they bent the front lip some, the wider the tire the more the problem. do a search on other sites on what people did to fix the problem.that may get you in the right direction
