Your truck looks great!
I would leave the tires and modify the inner fenders.
It looks perfect now.
As for the rubbing... I was hoping to stay with factory parts and I had the inner fenders powder coated, but at some point I might bag this truck too. I'll kick the idea around for a bit. I may look into a different spring too an add an adjustable bump stop. I think mine are 1/2 ton springs with a coil cut. Perhaps a lowered spring would be a better choice for stiffness.
