I'd say don't worry about the rubbing block. Thats what it is for. If set up
correctly, that will limit how far the wheels turn in. If not set up
correctly - not centered - then one side will lock hitting the block but
turning the other direction will lock before rubbing. The bigger diameter, of
course, hits it earlier and limits the turning radius.
I don't have experience with the 16" wheels. Could you maybe take them to a
good wheel shop and have them separate/re-weld the center section to change
the offset a bit? Maybe someone could comment on that. Rodders do it all the
time.
Greg Solo sells spacers - or used to anyway - for the same purpose too. Not
sure if they work with steel wheels or not.
