Default Need to shift body for tire clearance .

Down to the final days before paint and I notice my front right tire rubbing when I turn .So I checked finger widths front and back and decided that it needs to shift alittle 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch .So I've loosened my 8 body mounts 4per side and it won't move ,am i missing something ? Or should I chuck the Idea of running 255 60 15 on the front and go with 245 60 15 .would this cure my problem.Thanks Terry
