Heavy rub and clunk when turning

Bought a 2008 lexus ISF just over 1 month ago. The car was a certified series used car which came with winter rims and tires installed in addition to the summer tires and rims. Just tonight I installed the OEM rims and tires, tires are brand new PS2's installed by the dealer on the OEM rims and when I make a hard turn to the left the car rubs and clunks, if i turn right it does the same but not as bad. Any ideas on what it could be?

I am having the exact same issue. When the steering is turned beyond a certain angle, like 1turn through full lock, (usually on u-turns) or turning out of a really tight parking space, the front wheels feel like they're scrubbing heavily.
Just wondering if anyone knows who the problem could be? Car is 100% stock.

Good memory, I search and found this post. Looks like it could be normal.
Exact same issue as described, sometimes when near or at full lock, it does feels like I ran over something. My fronts are nearing the end of treadwear, so will find out if new tires will help.

If it's really rubbing with OEM rims and tires, something is seriously wrong. Sure, the tread winds up and releases making a noise at parking lot speeds, but that's it. If anything rubs, you need to find out what, why, and correct it immediately.
