If they are rubbing on the inner wing at the front you need rack travel restrictors in the steering rack.

You shouldn't be having problem at that width if they're in the correct offset range. What offset are the rims you have?

Wrong offset on your wheels mate, my old car was lowered 60mm on 18x7.5j and it never rubbed.
