72 duster resto

Welp kinda stuck. I feel like i've did extensive due diligence trying to make sure I double checked everything before buying these tires and wheels, but my human error bites me again.

Front -17x7 torque thrusts with 225/50/17s
Rear -17x8 torque thrusts with 255/45/17s

So first off, my cobra brake kit increased the track on my front mounts and even with a 17x7 (0 offset) wheel and a tire profile I liked it started to rub on the front and rear of the wheel well at turn. I only calculated how the diameter of the tire would affect the top of the well so... bummer

My options it seems are to get 2 new tires mounted on the wheels in the front moving down from 225/50/17 to
225/45/17 - yields me .89" decreased overall diameter (.445" per side)
or
225/40/17 - yields me 1.77" (.885" per side)

I don't really know of another way to get the car to turn without hitting.
