The wheel turns 1 1/2 times to the left and how many times to the right? Are you counting this from the center? or what?

When you adjust the tie rods they should be about equal length. Your description is very vague as Greasedmonkey pointed out, but it sounds like you have one tie rod adjusted very short and the other very long.
Another possibility is that you're slammed with big rims with the wrong offset and they're not clearing something.

Look at your tie rods, they might not be adjusted right. Like Suspended said.
