Extended radius rods

I extended my radius rods 1" today. The tires(215/75/15) were rubbing against the rear fender well in tight turns(EA82 front end swap into a Brat).

 

1 3/8" stock, cut to 2" length, then drilled and lathed to give a clean 1/2" depth hole on both sides:

how did you deal with the misalignment where the lower control arm meets the crossmember?

 

I kept the control arm in the xmember, and just pushed until things lined up. At only 1" it's not too far forward from where it naturally wants to sit. The stock radius rods, with the EA82 front end, actually pulled the control arm slightly behind the neutral position.
