Narrowing front track width...lower ball joint relocation?

I知 installing a FC front subframe into my FB to gain 5 lug,dual piston brakes and of course steering upgrades. The problem that I知 having (drag oriented) with the setup is increased track width. The caliper to wheel clearance problem pushes the wheel out past the fenders when using most popular drag wheel offsets.

I致e seen plenty of threads about extending the lower ball joint to gain steering angle. So could I do the opposite to decrease track width? I have s4 LCAs and coilovers with CC plates.

How about using Nolathane negative offset lower control arm bushings? Would that give you enough movement.

I tried searching and came up with nothing. Mostly BMW offset bushings.
