Tires rubbing

I bought some new to me 35 inch mickey thompson radials. I noticed before i left home that they are rubbing on the when the steering wheeling is turn all the way to one side. I was wondering if maybe the wheels that came with the tires are possibly the wrong offset? What could cause the rubbing? I had other 35s on there and they didnt rub with the old wheels. Any help would be great! And while im at it what is the wheel size needed to avoid tire rubbing? Offset?

Thanks So much!

Its a 79 ford f150 4x4

Your hitting on the radius arm. You can adjust the steering stops on the inside of the axle to stop that or buy a new set of wheels, cheaper to adjust the stops.
