Nitto 555 275/50 if i wanted to spend the extra money

I had the 15x8x5.5 bs wheels on my 90. my quad shocks were already gone before I bought the car so dont know if that would have made a clearance issue but, I had 275 50 15 MT drag radials and they fit ok at stock ride hight. the fenders were also rolled before i bought it. Once I lowered the suspension about 1.5 inches, they would rub a little so I beat the fenders out a little more. Up front I have 15x4 wheels. tire size is 185/75/R15. they are what would have been stock tires fo a 73 vw bug. now I have centerline convo pro 15x10x5 bs. for my new street tires i have these. MTT6654 from summit.
