I tried the formula bumper, but figured out how to make the T/A bumper work.

The slicks are still bias-ply (29.5x10.5x15 non-W), they measure 30" though

Minitubs, tucked the wheels as close as I could to offset LCAs. I didn't have to touch the upper lip of the quarter panel, but I did have to trim the inside of the front area (to leave room for tire growth. I also trimmed the rear bumper cover.
