Bonus points if you can say why.

max out your camber plate outward and run camber in the included angle on the lower coilover perch. if you have adjustable lower arms just make them as long as possible.
this may seem scary to a lot of people but the minimum amount of thread needed in your part is the OD of the rod end. if you have a 3/4 rod end you need a minimum of 3/4 thread in the bung on the part. then red loctite on the lock nut, again name brand if you can. if you bought a china/ebay arm go buy some real rod ends before you do this please. circuit sports seems to have a better grip on the quality of there product, they are ok.
anyways this gets your SAI at a much more reasonable setting which reduces jacking as you turn the wheel. and now you don't have to run 2" of spacers to get your scrub right
It will give you a wider front track which gives you better turn in on initiation and overall grip do to less lateral load transfer. And as stated above it simply gives you more room for angle.
you may still have to cut your fenders depending on your set up and angle. I don't have that problem as all the cars I build the first thing I do is cut the whole front of the car off and tube everything. makes it easier to work on after and gives me clearance for a number of things. street cars this is not an option really, you could have fun with a hammer or tub it.
hope this helps
