I know of a few people that after adding additional caster on their front wheels and end up too far rearward and the tires will rub on turns.
Was wondering if their are any lower control arm that bring the spindle further forward?

The SPC arms do and I am pretty sure the Ridetech arms do too.

I think the shim stack to get 6+ degrees on a stock arm (about the time you need the lower ball joint moved forward) would be crazy tall....
We create extra caster potential by adjusting the fore and aft position of the ball joints. At the same time we make sure the wheel is properly positioned in the wheel-well so your new 18" wheels fit like they should! The balljoint camber travel is re-centered to accommodate the new lowered ride height so the ball joint doesn’t bind during extreme suspension movement.

BMR splits the castor gain equally between the upper and lower arms so the tire stays put. The upper is still adjustable with shims.
