Front wheels rubbing

I have 16 x 8 polished IROCs with 245/50/16 and the damn things rub like crazy on sharp turns, such as parallel parking. Is there anything I can do to adjust the actual radius? I want the wheel to not turn anymore at the point just before it rubs, is that possible?

old chinese proverb say;"wise man know when to use hammer!"

just try denting your inner fender wells a bit and see if that helps
Also, are those the stock rims for your car?

me too!

After eibach springs my iroc wheels do the same! It drives me crazy, I think new wheels would help. Mine hit the frame so it can't be hammered.
