Default Front tires rubbing

okay, i hit a curb about a month ago, and it completely messed up my rims. so i got some new ones, i think from a blazer, but they stick out a little more. the issue im having is that the front right one rubs when i turn or hit a bump. the left one only rubs if i go over a bump with the wheels turned.

how would i got about fixing the rubbing?

Will post pics asap

Get different rims... Sounds like you put 2wd rims on a 4wd truck or vise-versa...

well, i kinda like the look of the new rims, is there any way to make the rubbing go away shy of hacking part of my car off?

r they rubbing on the top of the wheel well or on the inside? cuz if they r rubbing on the top then a torsion bar crank would help (search on the forum for more info its pretty common) and if its rubbing on the inside then i would think wheel spacers may do the trick but i'm not to sure bout that

they are rubbing where the mudflap is. although i did some intense dirt road runs today and the problem seems to have mostly fixed itself. kinda odd how that works sometimes... lol
