The obvious options...

1. Raise the front back up.
2. Get skinnier tires. (what size wheels do you have?)
3. Don't turn corners.

The more expensive option.

4. Get a narrowed front end. I'm not running 295s on the front
but my front end is narrowed about 1.5" on both sides (3 inches)
I've heard some IFS builders will go 2.5" or more (5 inches total)
Wheels with a larger back space might help some. (watch out for tie rod, steering linkage clearance)
