195/65/15 Stock Fuchs. Turning radius restricted. Just parking, and U-turns. Would a 1/2" wheel spacer help?

Avoiding turning the steering wheel to ‘full lock’ should help with the rub issue. When all is said and done the tie rods should be as parallel to the horizon as possible. This helps to avoid the dreaded bump steer. Get your front end where you want it before an alignment. Source some sims for the rear too. Look for a referral for a shop that knows their way around a 914. A every day tire shop is not the way to go. I think there is a 4 wheel alignment in your future.
