Tires rub, Help!

I have a 69 C10 Fleetside. Riding on 20/10's in the rear. As I make a turn they rub a little on the inside wall. Without having to go out and buy a new set of tires and wheels......is there something I can do to prevent this? I just bought this truck last Aug. Note; there's already a small spacer but it's not enough.

Is there enough room on the outside for wheel spacers? push them out a bit and get some inside clearance.

Re: Tires rub, Help!

Can you keep the rearend from moving that much? Does it have a panhard bar? Rear sway bar? Poly bushings in the trailing arms and panhard bar? Whatever you can do to keep that rear from moving too much will help.
The panhard bar with poly bushings will help the most, probably poly bushings in trailing arms next and last the swaybar. A rear swaybar isn't going to help a lot, but it could help a little.
