Dissappointing, my new 8 lug wheels, I need a solution!

So I ran across a killer deal, some weld typhoons look alikes made by eagle alloy. The guy originally told me they were 16 x 8's, after driving for over 2 hrs to meet the guy it turned out they were 16x10's w/tires mounted. I couldn't help myself, I bought them anyway.

I installed them today, they look awesome. I really like the way they look.

Unfortunately, they are too big and rub. What options do I have?

Tires on them are 305/70-16

I think I can get new stock coils and maybe clear? Maybe a coil spacer? New taller coils? 2 or 3" Body lift? New tires? Sell them and wait and find some 16x8's I can put tires on that fit?

I'm leaning towards a body lift right now. Anybody know where I can find one?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks
