I`m currently building # 757 and ran into something similar . Several questions : Is your car on the ground and no engine in it ? What size are the front tires ? My car is currently on the ERA stands and my LF tire hits the back part of the fender inner lip on the driver`s side on a left turn . There is no weight on the car , so the suspension is in full droop ... I may have to trim some off the inner fender lip to clear the 245/60R-15 Avons in the front ( which Bob told me in advance I might have to do ), but I can`t really tell until the car is on the ground , suspension height set and engine etc in it .
I remember measuring the tire clearance on both sides and it was about what Bob said ....I`ll go out later today and take some measurements on tire to fender lip measurements along with reference points and center line to center line on the front shocks for my car .
Once there is weight on the front of your car, it should sit a lot lower and the problem may vanish
