low profile tires might help. set of new shocks and struts might help as well. my 2 cents

9" wheels are pretty large, if you want them to not rub you will need to install steering rack limiters, they are little C clips that get installed onto the ti-rods so the wheels don't turn far enough to rub on anything.

as Blind mentioned, steering rack limiters will help. most fox guys like to use 255/40 on a 17x9 wheel. you can also see where it rubs the a-arm and grind a little off. the limiters are your best bet though.
