Default wheels hit the bumper

I have some american racing Torque Thrust II 275/40/17 on my 98 Trans am and they seem to hit the bumper. Does anyone have similar sized wheels that hit and could possibly help me fix this?

I'm assuming you're talking front bumper. Are you saying they rub when the wheel is fully turned in one direction? I've had this problem since I put on my TTII's as well. 17x9.5 wheels with same size tire. Sorry I don't have any answers, but would like to know myself.

Mine rub the plastic inner fender, but not the bumper. I am running QA1's Shocks/Springs on the front lowered quite a bit.

What front suspension mods do you have, if any?
