A method (200) for actively determining a steering stop angle for tires associated with a front axle (32) of a work vehicle (10) may generally include receiving an input associated with a tire parameter for the tires (202), monitoring a suspension travel distance of the front axle and monitoring an oscillation angle of the front axle. In addition, the method (200) may include determining a maximum allowable steering angle for the tires based on both the suspension travel distance and the oscillation angle of the front axle (208) , wherein the maximum allowable steering angle corresponds to a steering angle at which clearance is maintained between the tires and at least one hood-related component (206) of the work vehicle when the tires are moved to the maximum steering angle.
