Have you considered a smaller tire? You didn't say what the tires were rubbing on. If the edge of the tread is rubbing, you could trim the tread edges to give you more clearance.

If it's rubbing on something on the inside, maybe wheel spacers. On the outside, maybe trim the plastic fenders. I had to trim my front fenders on my Arctic Cat Diesel, after installing 30" Mudzillas on 14" rims. It only rubbed with a heavy 72" snow plow on, and a 1" lift and adjusting the shocks for maximum pre load ended the rubbing.

pop in some wheel spacers front and back. When you lift you are also making the wheelbase narrower. So you have sucked the tires closer to the machine.
