If the only problem was with the tire rubbing against the lip, I'd consider rims with different backspacing. 265s should fit with the right backspacing, not sure with the 1.5" drop though. I have 265s on Welds with 5.5 backspacing and all I had to do was flip the quad shocks.

That's what I was thinking too. However, maybe the 87's have different dimensions in the back wheel area than my 91? I have 275 BFG drag radials on Bogart 15x8.25" rims w/5.50 backspacing and mine don't come close to rubbing the fender. Actually, I had to remove the quad shocks as that is where mine was rubbing.
