Your tires aren't that much skinnier than mine, either. Did you check the "short" steering direction not rubbing?

I see what your saying. It is funny and this is where every inch matters. After full lock I got a tad bit more and count on the duct to flex as it should to work. Here's some pics.

This is the full lock and I installed the tie around the lower coilover bracket.



Here's when wheel is straight.

There was no other hole on the other side (more towards the bumper) to reach that area in the first place, without cutting the vertical plastic piece that has the little built in round hole in it. Did you just force the hose to work with that hole? Seemed small for it to me, but it was moot since I have cooler lines running through there already, and both certainly can't fit.
It is very tight and you have to use the push pull technique to get threw as you see above. Below is a pic of passenger side.
