Will moving to a larger offset wheel (2inch bs to a 1 inch bs) fix this?


Is there a steering stop to the right that I need?

How much caster is in it? is the steering stop cut off of the lower a-arm? Going to a 1" will help, but you will loose cross weight in the car.

If you can still get through the corner fine, do not worry about it. A lot of guys have this problem with it hitting the kickout on the frame behind the wheel, I always have a bare spot where the paint was rubbed off, but the car still handles, I see a lot of other cars that do the same thing. It only hits when you have it turned extremely to the right, which shouldn't be too often.

What type of car is this on and what kinda tires are you using ?

I had this same problem. I cut a section of the frame out and reinforced it back to look stock, pretty easy to do. If you dont correct this every time your tire rubs the frame it acts like a brake. If your steering all the way to the right in the corner the last thing you want is that tire braking. Also you may not want to change your wheel offset.
