I have a QA1 tubular K member and control arms with 255/40 R17 tires. the problem is that when I turn my wheels all the way to either side they rub on the inside of the front fenders. anyone else have this problem? If no solution I quess I can just trim out the part of the inner fender where it rubs.

Install a rack limiter, cheap and easy. I had the same problem, don't cut on the sheet metal...

I've got 255/40/17s up front as well (stock suspension). Rubs like hell at full turns, drives me insane. I'd also like to know if there's a way to fix it, I've already tried the hammer method

I have 275's on the front of mine with forward offset A arms and a MM k member, moved the wheels forward around 2" but there is a way to make them fit, but you have to have the stomach to cut up your fenders
