Wider wheels, wheels with less backspacing, or wheel spacers (I don't really recommend).

You need to find out the width and backspacing on your wheels and then find one that is wider or has less backspacing.

Just measure it. BS is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub) to it's rear edge.
