Default weld 15x10 pro star/ tire hit fender on hard acel?

thinking of getting welds in 15x3.5 front and 15x10 rears (as you see in my other post about skinnies)

BUT after seeing how the 15x10 pro stars stick out past the fender about an 1" Wouldn't the tire HIT the fender on hard aceleration???

I don't plan on using a spacer, just GRINDING like hell...

I had to use a 5/16 spacer and griding like HELL.
Stuck out about a inch.

It is better now that I have the Moser 12 bolt which is narrowed an inch each side. Now, I did have to have someone clearance the inner wheel wells to kept them from hitting.

Best of luck to ya.

I know I'm a fool for asking, but what backspacing are they going to be or are now? I ask cause I have the draglites in the 7.5 BS w/ a 28 inch tall MT ET drag, but have yet to take them down the strip. Had to massage the wheel well like hell just so they would fit.
