Re: front tires hit sway bar
For a '92 RS, the V6 came with 15x7", and to get the 16x8" w/ 235/55R16, you also had to get the LO3. Though it may have been possible to get the 15s with the LO3, IDK.
You probably put the 16s on a factory 15s car, but didn't change the steering box to match. The steering box was fitted with different internal stops depending on which wheels they were supposed to be with.
So, just be mindful of how tight you're turning.
Or if you lowered the car, you may need shorter end links for the bar. ES makes several lengths.

Re: front tires hit sway bar
its factory 305, hasnt been lowered, and i now it came with those 16s bc the sticker in the door from the factory that has all that numberious info is still there (it is says 225/55/r16). however the sway bar is bigger then factory, PO put it on.
