painted the wheels my self.. not the best job but i plan to repaint using different type of paint..

when i first tried the wheel on i assumed i would need longer wheel stud because mine were about 1/4" sunk in from the face of the wheel but took it a bud of mine and said there was no need for longer studs..so mounted them on that same day :banana:

Take one of these

to that inside seam. That should probably work.

I don't know if wheel spacers would help in your circumstance. It would shift the centerline of the wheel out of the fenderwell, which should allow the rear edge of the tire to get more outside of the back/bottom of that fenderwell. They're cheaper than a lift (although you would probably need longer studs). However, they aren't as cheap as a pair of $39.99 1" daystar front leveling spacers.
 
My Yokohama Geolanders (265/75/16) rubbed during slow turns. I lifted the front a little over 2 inches with Bilstein 5100's. The only time it will even rub a little is if I'm turning and hit a good sized bump. I also think an alignment shop can adjust the caster to help out the situation.
