Yeah, that's a really good point. I have an '88 4-banger with 16" Turbo Coupe rims (225/65 tires) and they do rub when the wheels are cut to either extreme. It isn't a problem with normal driving, because you never cut the wheels that sharply at driving speeds (I hope!). However, in a parking lot, it turns out they rub alot. You just need to take the wheel off to see how it all adds up! I've even stalled the car a couple of times when feathering the clutch performing really slow manouvres. Seems to hurt the car more than the tire- so far.
