Well I went to get my car inspected today, and they failed me for my front left tire rubbing on my swaybar. Other than new rims or wheel spacers is there any thing can do to I fix this?

275 is wide for the front, i had those on the front of mine, came close to rubbing so i went with 255's on an 8.5 inch front instead of the 9.0 inch 275's...also i like the look of it being flush with the fender..the 275 stuck out alittle..if you do go with a spacer, thats gonna make that tire stick out even further...giving it that jeep 4x4 look.

My front tires don't stick out any, I probably just need to get over it. They only rub at full lock anyway but VA state inspectors are anal, plus I was at a tire dealer so they wanted to sell me tires.
