Front tire rubs control arm

It happens with both wheels, near the stop positions of steering rack.

Rim: 15x7, 35mm offset (Advanti Storm S1), no spacers
Wheel: 225/45zr15 (Toyo Proxes R1R)

I didn't find any such complains on the forum.
How do people resolve it?
Should I unscrew both outer rod ends to move the wheel more to outside away from control arm?

Same problem here. Thought about requesting DF to make narrower upper control arms to help assist this issue. I'm running 15x10 et 20 wheels. This may not be an issue with 17's or 18 inch wheels.

I added 25mm thick bolt on spacers, since they bolt to the hub and have separate studs for the wheel I think some people call them adapters. I still had to trim my stock studs with a grinder to make sure they didn't bottom out on the wheel but that was really simple and there's enough length with no threads to not risk impacting the threads when only removing a couple mm length.

Got mine custom made from here (called to confirm a couple details and ordered that way direct from the owner):
