I recently bought an F150 where the previous owner went from 15 to 17 inch rims. what would be the best way to keep the wheels from rubbing a lift kit or wheel spacers.

We always recommend staying with direct fit parts. However, are you able to get a lower profile tire?

I understand. If they are rubbing that bad, I would suggest a body lift. However, please remember, I am recommending the correct size tires because when you lift the vehicle, you loose stability.
