I haven't heard of this problem before. I know a few guys that did grind it down so that 15's would work in the rear.

17" wheels should not hit the knuckle OR toe link connection. Please post pics. However, you will need to grind the knuckle attachment point for the toe link if you want to run a 16" wheel.

FWIW
