I've just installed E36 95' 318iS steering rack onto my e30.
i'm using 205/50/R16 ET25 AC type 1 wheel.
I've noticed when i'm doing the full turn,
the tire just rubbing the wheel house chassis.
Anyone has encountered this ?

You've got 50/16" rubber on there.
Stop locks or lower profile tyres to bring the outside diameter back to the original size (speedo's under reading and your loosing a tiny amount on acceleration)
Has the car been lowered ?
