I have this exact setup, using Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. At full lock (left or right), I get slight rubbing on the front fender liners. When turning right, the outside edge of the tire touches the driver side fender liner, and vice-versa. The tires are touching the little access panel cover.

These are brand new fender liners and seem properly installed. Is this normal? Didn't think 245/40/R18 on an 8.5 inch front ARC-8 wheel would be pushing the limit here. It only happens at or near full lock, but still...
