Any setups that allow for tighter turning on a Yamaha G16?

Hey everyone I installed a spindle lift that I got a good deal on, and just installed some 22x10x10 tires on rims with a 3 x 4 offset. The spindle lift sticks the front wheels out about 2.5" more than stock, but the tops of the tires are rubbing against the spindle bracket at the end of the A-arm when I turn about half the distance I used to be able to. I was thinking of adding a 1" spacer behind the wheels to see if if that'd allow for a bit more turning, but then I'd need like a 3" spacer to get the rear wheels out far enough to match... which I'm not too comfortable about.

Does anyone with a G16 that has a 6" A-arm lift have problems with turning?? It looks like an A-arm lift would cause these size tires to hit the factory front bumper. I guess the proper setup would be an aftermarket double A-arm lift but I'm not really looking to go that far with this project money-wise, I don't think.

Any input would be great! Thanks!

Would like to see a G16 "spindle lift", don't think I've seen one.

I'll try to get you a straight-on picture of the front of the suspension so you can see it better, but here is what I have. Not sure of the manufacturer of the kit, I haven't seen one like this on the current market.

Man I'm getting old I completely forgot about the drop spindle lift kits from that manufacture. So badly desighned/built and bad steel (probably from China), we took it off and ended up turning it upside down to lower a G16. Thought I saw a Jake's 6" a arm lift kit in the for sale section for a very low price.
