Default Front wheel rub

Guys, just got my cobra on the road, been sitting in the garage for nearly 3 years whilst I saved up for the rest of the bits, but finally installed 408 with tremic 5 speed, beautiful built by the engine factory, runs and sound sexy as hell, just putting the finishing touches to my baby but got a problem with the left front wheel rubbing when turning half lock on the body, its got 18 inch wheels on it dressed with 265s, it looks like there's heaps of room to the back of the wheel arch thus front wheel looks like it's too far forward but it doesn't seem as though I can adjust it at all, the ride height is set high with 100 mm under the sump so not excessively low, although can't see how raising the car will alleviate the problem, also doesn't seem to rub on the other side, haven't done the final tracking, camber etc yet but have done a wheel alignment myself with line and tape measure, not far off judging road behaviour, thinking of drilling out the wishbone and off setting the bolt position, dunno if that's what you call the painted red brace under the car, but I'm sure you guys will put me right on correct terminology, but car handles fantastic so don't wanna screw that up, any suggestions would be appreciated, gunna try and load some pics, newbie at this site so patience please.:
