Default SN-95 suspension swap questions

I'm swapping everything over from a 97 project I was working on to an 87 coupe I have now. I've already installed the k-member, control arms, and spindles. When I bolted on my 17x9's with 275's, The tire is nearly 1.5" out from the fender. Any guys here running wide rubber on their Foxes with SN95 suspension? I had to put in like 5 degrees of negative to get it to tuck into the fenders (they're not rolled, so that will help a little when I get that taken care of). I want to run between 0.5 and 1 degree on the street and a max of 2.5 on the track, autox, or on The Dragon.



Oh yeah, IRS is going in the back also with 275's. Probably going to run into the same problem there.

Did anyone here run flares or did you go the American Iron route and spread the fenders out?
