More info would be helpful. Tire/rim size. Backspacing of rim would be great places to start. Where is the wheel/tire rubbing

if rear tires are hitting when you turn, you have control arm issues. they shouldn't move at all.

they are too wide or the BS is incorrect

a 10" rim is too much, and a 11" tire is too much

Your control arm bushings are shot probably. I have some rubbing issues on the inside of the tires on the wheel well when I turn fast and hard.It moves probably around an inch and a half or so when it does.
