I'm hitting my frame?

[fwuffy squirrel]

Hi guys (and the few girls out there lol) So I've been doing little things to my car for the past long while, and I put in a new steering rack with Tein inner & outer tie rods. When I was test driving it, I noticed my steering angle was greater which is good, but now when I steer too much I hear this terrible scrapping sound. I was like :wtf:
I went under the car to see what it was, and it was the inside of my rim hitting the frame of the car.
To give an example, it hits on the front left side when I turn my wheel all the way to the left.
I have 17" rims with 225/45/17 tires so I'm not running anything super wide. Could anyone give some feedback on the situation? I don't really know what to do to solve the problem cause I'm pretty noobish.
Thank everyone

take some pics....

but it just sounds like u might be hitting the tire in the wheel well...just heat it up a bit with a heat gun and take a BFH (big fucking hammer) to it until u dont rub....that is if thats whats going on...but pics would help a bit more

You could see on the inside where the little part is shiny. Hopefully there is a remotely easy fix. This thing sucks cause I don't know how far I can turn before tire+rim damage

Spacers?????

Those rims look like they need to be more "flush"

This is normal for added steering angle.

You have to remove the rubbed portions on the frame rail.

if u dont wanna hit the frame with a hammer, get a small spacer....done deal
