Answering the original question is difficult unless you bought the exact same incorrect wheels and tires for your own car and fixed the problem.

Most guys do a little research before spending the money to find out what fits.

It sounds like the OP got a pretty good deal on the wheels/tires. He should consider selling them at no loss or maybe a little profit and getting something that fits correctly.

Lilroush and Nawwz i might try the wheel lock idea but i was looking to lower my car in the future so they would differently rub on the sway-bar but Am said that they would fit the car perfect when i bought them

and for mustang 93 you could just let them rub their own grove or sand the wheel wells down so they don't rubb any more

It might help to know that no two same-sized tires are actually the same dimensions. Pick any size on a side wall and you can find wider, narrower, taller and shorter tires with the same side wall size.

Add lowering springs and suspension modifications on top of guys wanting to cram the biggest, fattest tires in their wheels wells and you get to the point where it takes an actual fitting to find out what works.
