Default Possible FRONT tire rub?

Hello everyone.

Quick question...anyone rub the front tires on the fenders when making slow turns? Obviously this question is for those with lowered cars and running different from stock setup.

I ask because the other day i was pulling out of my garage and the end of my driveway has a small dip (for drainage i guess? people living in Arizona knows what i'm talking about). I always back out on an angle to avoid grinding the rear and front bumpers. This one time i took it at a more aggressive angle and had the wheel turned all the way and heard a kind odd grinding/rubbing sound. Honestly not sure what or where the sound was coming from, but i am pretty sure from the front (not the lip). I am running a 19x8 40mm offset with a 255 tire in the front. So am i rubbing the fender or something inside the wheel well?
