Default New 18" tires rubbing bad-what to do?

Just installed 18 x 9 y2k Cobra R wheels with 275/40/18 BFG KD's ($300 ea) and when I had the car up on a lift noticed the inside of the right front tire was getting shredded. I didnt notice the clearance problem when the tire shop put them on, they looked so bad ***! I cant even feel the rub when turning either but it the shreds dont lie. Is it common to have clearance probs with 18" wheels on 00 GT's? Any fixes? I have figured out not to make tight turns, but anything else?
