I do not understand the purpose of removing the bolt that stops the wheels from turning further on our cars?

I mean does it not rub when you turn the wheel too much?

You got the wrong offset wheels then.

Removed mine about 10,000 miles ago, no problems. Still turns like a truck, but better than it was.

Definetely the same offset. You need to find out where it is rubbing and get back to me. There is no way it can rub on the back of the wheel when turned fully.

it doesn't rub all the time.. but there is a vertical gash about 6 inches long inside the plastic splash guard on the inside of the right side of the car when you turn the wheel completely to the left, the inside of the tire matches up with it.

Check the plastic liner and make sure it has not come loose a bit causing it to rub.
