Rubbing on upper control arms

[SACTX]

Anyone ever have the inside of their rims rub the upper control arms? They don't hit at full lock but have rubbed some how? I don't even know when. I noticed it yesterday when I was cleaning my wheels.

Seems like it would be full lock with the suspension completely unloaded but I can't think of when that would have happened.

Wheels are 18x9, 45mm offset with 1" adapter/spacers.

My tire will rub at/near full lock. I've only noticed it on the right side but that's because of the tight parking situation when my girlfriend parks in front of the garage door.

There are a few things you can do like take out a little camber, use steering rack stops or toe in the front tires a little bit more. Your rubbing so little it shouldn't be much of an adjustment.

If one side is closer than the other, you can take some of the adjustment out of one side and add to the other. You will have to re-center the steering wheel on the spline to get it back close.

Many are very close, especially if you run wide wheel/tire combos.

Otherwise all of the other suggestions will work also.

Ken had the simplest and cleanest solution for steering stops to help prevent rubbing.

Steering Stop options?

Would be interested to try a set of the aluminum spacers! Just not sure how thick they need to be. My steering goes about 3 turns of the steering wheel....2 turn stop (I believe) would be about right

I couldn't use the aluminum spaces as they rubbed inside the stering rack. I suggest the nylons spacers suggested by others. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0068C49WO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
