What size are your tires? 35" x --"?

Or P---/-- R16?

Did you have the 35s on before the lift? Did they rub?

My guess right now is that your tires are too wide. You'd need to get a rim with less positive offset.

You're missing another digit there. The first number needs to be 3 digits xxx/75 R16

But yeah, it sounds like your tires are much too wide for the stock rims. [>:]
