Remeber the old story about the guy that went to the doctor and said " hey doc, it hurts really bad when I do this", and the doctor told him to stop doing that?
Same rules apply here. Stop turning so sharp and the tires won't rub. You can run the limit stops out to reduce the rubbing, but it will reduce the turning radius also. This is a common problem when the wrong offset wheel is used with such a tall tire.

trade them out for a set of 285/75/16s with someone on this board 
Regretfully my 98 with a 4" lift would have the same problem with my 16 rims. A 305/70/16 rubs slightly. My 17 street rims have more offset and could run that size. Your only chance with those is possibly a spacer to increase the backspace, which also has drawbacks.
