71 Nova, at full lock [turning left or right] the driver side front tire rubs...
[turn right front of tire rubs frame, turn left rear or tire rubs inner fender]
not bad just annoying, old skool 15" chrome rims with baby moons, 5" backspacing, tires are 235/60/15
had the same tire rub with my 14" ralley wheels with stock tires just not as bad...

is there an adjustment like a steering stop?
i guess I could use a 1/4" wheel spacer but i'd rather not

it only occurs @ full steering lock either left or right, ussually pulling into or out of tight parking spots...

is there anything i can adjust in the steering linkage? or??

1. check your steering stops on your spindles or a-arms. if they are worn then you could get a welder to build up the stops. or you could get 1/4in spacers and try those out.
