Get the car back on the lift and the a-arm has ground into the 16" front wheels (approved by ER for a 30mm spindle lift).
So my question is the following. What distance a good measurement of the spindle on a stock car? Perhaps mine was raised too far. Second: I had not torqued the lower ball joint beyond hand tight or installed the wedge bolts. How much will that raise the a-arms off the wheels? It looks like I need another 5mm of clearance but I'm not sure I'll get it there. Thus the first question.
Thanks!

Really didn't install the wedge bolts? They are a critical load bearing link in your front suspension required To be in place before you even set the car on the ground not to mention move it.
