Get some wheels with a different offset. In other words you need a wheel with a deeper center or you can get some wheel spacers. Personally I don't like spacers but I'm just throwing some ideas out.

Cheapest way is to add spacers...but like stated above spacers would be my last choice also.

The rubber on your tires will not wear down your radius arm ...are the wheels rubbing on it ??

You could try to adjust the steering stops. If your tires don't turn as far at full lock they might not rub, or they might not rub as much as they do now.
