Front tires rubbing in reverse only??

Front tires rubbing in reverse only??
I have a 2016 F150 XLT. I have recently put on new wheels and tires that are 275/60R20 with a -25 offset on a 2 inch leveling kit in the front. When I am driving forward I am able to turn the wheel all the way with no rubbing at all in both directions. When I put the truck in reverse I am only able to make 1 full rotation of the wheel before the tires start to rub. I ordered them off custom offsets which says it a “guaranteed fit” which obviously isn’t the case. I did my research before hand and people have this setup without rub so I’m not sure why mine is doing it unless the leveling kit wasn’t installed properly? I put them on yesterday and have not had an alignment just yet as I plan to first thing Monday morning when the service shop opens up. Will the alignment fix it, or am I going to have to cut away at the inside wall? Trying to avoid any cutting as it’s a newer truck and don’t really want to make any “permanent” changes. Please save any negative comments and please help with a possible solution. Any help is appreciated!!

Sorry to hear about the incorrect fitment answer Scook1928, Most trucks do not rub going forward/sitting still. Its quite common for trucks to rub in reverse though. Some guys will remove the crash bars, and heat the plastic and push it back. Others just let it rub!

You could, to retain them, we've removed a good amount of them. Either one is a viable option though!
