Guys, the wheels he's using are roughly 4" backspacing (0" offset). I had a set of those on my old Monte SS. If he uses IROC wheels or any other 3rd-gen 16" front wheel he'll still have the same problem, since they have the same offset. The problem is, his car originally came with 15" wheels and they have a different steering box. He needs a steering box off a car that came equipped with 16's from the factory. They have the internal stops set in a different place so the wheel can't turn in as far. That ends the rubbing issue.
