Unhappy 2007 300c srt/design

I put 22x9.5 Gianelle 5-shot wheels with 265/35/22 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires on my car. I love the way they look and I will post pictures later. The tires rub when I back-up turn right or left. What can I do to fix this. These tires are smooth and tight they just rub when I back-up. What is the fix???

Sorry to hear of the issue!

Where are the tires rubbing? Such will indicate where changes need to be made.

Probably the steering knuckle? Would some concentric spacers do the trick (not a wheel guy here, but just wondering). Usually spacers are for clearing the brake calipers, but that shouldn't be a problem on the SRTDG model.

Thanks I don't know what that is but I will look under the car. The strange thing is it just rubs when I back up and turn the wheel.
