    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    It's the offset of the wheels. Sticks out which sweeps further when turning. A thinner sidewall tire might be enough to stop rubbing but maybe not. 275/55-20 or 275/50-20 maybe. Would be shorter but same width.

    Edit: know that smaller sidewall often means rougher ride or easier to damage rims.

    Other options depend on where it rubs and how bad but might let you keep the tires. (cheaper than a new set of tires)

    1. Alignment could push tires forward if rubbing on mudflaps or cab mount.
    2. If rubbing plastic in front of tire, you can remove, trim, reposition, or heat deform it.
    3. Just start cutting or grinding wherever it rubs. Lol.
    4. Different wheels with different offset.
