clearence problems with 33"

I've got a '91 ranger with a 4" lift the guy before me put on. The tires are 33x9.5 and seem to be rubbing on the radias arms (i think they're extended) when I tearn real sharp. What's a good way to fix this? Is it better to just deal with it?

You've probably got stock sized and stock offset rims. Maybe try a wider offset rim instead.

I've heard offset rims can wear out bearings in the axle. Is that something that happens only at an extreame offset, or is it just a rumor?
