That's the curse of wider wheels I'm afraid to say. As a quick fix would it be possible to unscrew the arches and refix them slightly higher up the wing.?? I'm not sure if it's possible to do that with your wheelarches though. The other problem will be if the tyres rub on the wing itself once the above is done.

The easy answer is not to apply full lock cos you know its gonna rub The only permanent cure would be to trim some bodywork off the leading edge of the wing at the point where the tyre is rubbing then refix the arch further out to suit.
