[DeTomaso] Rubbing inner fender wells

You shouldn't get any at 225 and very little if any at 235,
I have run 245 for the last 8 years and while it can rub, it rarely does.
What reason would you have to turn that sharply on a regular basis?
The extra grip and solid feel is well worth the trade off IMHO.
