Tires Too Big!!

Well I bought these wheels and tires that dont appear to be any bigger than 33's. My friend told me they are 32's. But I have this problem the truck has been lifted not sure if it is 4 or 6 inches. Anyway the tires are rubbing on the radius arms and I can't turn as sharply as I would like.

Any suggestions?

Rubbing the R/As is very common. The only way to cure it is to get wheels with less backspacing. Wider tires usually more prone to rubbing but backspacing is the key.

Damn I found these wheels and tires at a salvage and picked them up for a really goof price. They fit great but just can't turn worth a crap.

Any ideas on swapping to pwr steering?
