Default Steering Angle Adjustment

Is there a method to set maximum steering angle? When I go to maximum turn I am getting tire rub (kinda shortening the life of my tires) on the inner rear of the well.

Hoping someone has already solved this dilemma.

Toe: 0
Camber: 2.75
Castor: 1.75

add a little toe-in, or a thin spacer to the wheel?

Adding a little caster will move the wheel forward.

+1, caster should probably be closer to 3 degrees. That will also help a bit with camber gain (well, less camber loss) while cornering.

I cannot go with too much more caster as I am pretty far forward in the wheel well. So in my usual patient manner I took a BHF to it to give me a little more room, I will see how that works this weekend.
