What I did was take a hammer and i put a 2x4 on the outside and hammered the inside lip until it was flat up against the fender. I have 275's and they dont rub anymore.

I have heard that some people have used a baseball bat between the tire and inner fender. Stick it in and rotate the tire and the bat rolls down the innner fender lip.

One of the major tire chains had a tool you could rent that did the job. The tool cost $700 if you wanted to buy it, and there was a long waiting list to get it.
