Default Tires hitting front shocks?

Has anyone done any thing like inboarding the top fo the front shocks to help with the tires clearing at full lock with the tire pushed up all the way? I am running rovers on stock wheels and when they hit it just seems to bind up so i was just wondering if anybody has done any modifying of the sort? Thanks in advance!!

You can use a wider offset wheel and limit your shock travel. I limited the shock travel with a 3/8" long rubber spacer. The rovers still get into the shocks, but not as bad.
