Default Blox LCA/Camber kit and +43/+45 wheels

I drive a 94 EG with GSR rotors all around. I recently replaced the OEM LCA with Blox LCA and Camber kit and I think it make it less room to fit my wheel in the rear. Car is only mildly lower with 1.5" drop

My 16x7 +43 wheels don't fit.
My 14x5.5 +45 wheels fit OK but it still require a slight camber to avoid the fenders (since I never rolled them).

Prior to changing my setup.. I can run both set of rims without an issue. But I thought aftermarket LCA is suppose to help fit a wider rim and offset a slight amount camber for you. When I did it.. it looks like it make it added more negative camber and I had to adjust it back to near zero.

Now the question... is this common.. or do I screw something up since I did also replaced the rear trailing arm bushing. Is this just an alignment issue or aftermarket LCA requires a larger offset rim?

Anyone else with this issue?

Thanks

Default Trade Offs Of Control Arm Swapping

Be aware that everything done to a cars suspension is a compromise
and it is common that when one thing is changed something else must be changed also.....and you may not have screwed up...to answer your question.

Upfront with you, I haven't had a tire/wheel clearance problem, since I do
careful measuring first, to be sure things have room for the suspension to operate......but when a person buys new parts, sometimes the parts they already have are not compatible for clearances to stay the same.

Aftermarket Lower Control Arms are not always the same dimensions
as stock. Sometimes they do help you run a wider rim, but sometimes they push the bottom of the wheel out and it causes negative camber.......
If the wheel is pushed outward, the added offset of a wider rim would need to be on the inside of the fender well.

and then....... when a person adjusts the top camber kit to get rid of the negative camber, it pushes the top of the wheel out to where the top of the tire rubs the fender. That may be what happened to your car........and you may not have screwed up...to answer your question.

If you want someone to look at it, and see what needs to be
done to make it work, get back with me. Second opinions are free.-Bob
