I have the same setup: Speedway MII with stamped steel control arms and strut rod. I have no clearance issues. Speedway sells several different spindles for their MII kit; make sure they sent you the correct set. Ditto for the wheel bearings. No spindle bushings in that kit that might place the rotors out farther? Their online photo does show it's kinda close, but not as bad as yours:

But yeah, worst-case scenario, have the rotors clearanced by a machine shop.
