Fastest, cheapest, easiest would be to put washers on your steering stops on the knuckles. You will lose some turning radius but you shouldn't rub.

x2 on adding washers to the steering stops. Next step up moneywise would be running a spacer of some kind up front, but compared to the price of a couple washers... I'd go with option 1...
