Rubbing issues

I've been searching for solutions to this issue. I recently switched to a wider wheel (Ronal R15/275/40/17). Initially when I had the Hankook Ventus tires on the car, I did not have a significant rubbing issue. I switched to Toyo Proxes R1Rs as well as I changed my steering box to a Lee 670 steering gear.

At my first autox event with this setup I rubbed the inner fender well on the passenger side pretty good (the course had a 180 that you pretty much had to go full lock to navigate). It rubbed it bad enough that it popped the ground effect from the metal retainer on the fender... the only solution I could think of for this is some type of adjustable steering stop; I've seen someone on the board do it but that was a few years ago. Aside from that, how have any of you addressed this issue?

(I already searched)

Re: Rubbing issues

How much caster are u running? The tire should be nowhere near the fender where it would cause that kind of damage
