Reply to "Right tire hitting the fender in the front"

Need advice please :-) On my recently bought '73 Pantera the right tire hits the front of the fender when turning left. On the right it is close but it does not touch. The castor shims are in the front for maximum castor. The rims are 15x7 with 225/60 tires. The car is stock, the shocks have still the US spacers. The fenders are a little rolled on the edges.

What options do I have to fix it?

Many thanks...............Eugen

A very simple fix could be to shorten the left tie rod end by one turn or so and lengthen the right tie rod end by the same amount. If this does not fix it then reverse the change because your steering wheel will be out of level. If it does fix it then your steering wheel will need to be leveled (assuming it was level) and your turn signal cancel cam may need adjustment as well.
