some camber and/or caster may get rid of it.

Or you can roll your fenders.

Did you lower the car? Seems odd that the stockers are rubbing.

You might wanna check your steering rack, it might not be centered properly as in the wheel has more angle when you turn left than when you turn right. I had that problem on mine many years ago.

It's centered. When we put it in his car we counted the number of turns from lock to lock and divided by 2.

I had the same problem with my car causing my first drift event to fail. Manual rack + power knuckles = awesome angle..... but + positive offset wheels = frame rub :(

so rims wth a better offset should take care of that?
