Default 265/70/16s are rubbing

If I turn the wheel all the way right or left and put any kind of loading on the truck (going over a speed bump, down off a curb), the tire hits the wheel well and makes an obnoxious noise. Does anyone else have this problem. I got the biggest tires they offered because I figured there wouldn't be fitting issues. Plus I'm a man...and a dumbass (gas [:'(]). I'm thinking about stiffer shocks or maybe just a little lift to fix it, but my dealer said that could void the warranty. I asked them if they could do anything about it, and they shot me a line about how the truck was designed to be at that ride height blah blah. I know Magnusson-Moss and all that, but dealers are sheisty. They offered the truck that way, seems like the should be responsible to fix that. It's certainly not SOP to be getting wheel rub off the lot is it? Maybe it's just for Dodges (I'm still a Ford man, the Ranger is just too small).

Mine do the same thing - never caused any damage though. It seems like mostly when the wheel is turned at the extreme most angle and I hit a bump (everytime I turn into my driveway)
