This is my idea of a half-a$$ fix but maybe try unbolting the support rods that hold those corners of the fenders and see if pulling or pushing the fender would make it clear? Then fab up some longer or shorter rods to hold the fender in the 'proper' spot. I'd still be leary of going over bumps in a turn though.

That's what I did on my Duster to clear my 275's. Granted, not a Barracuda. But adjusting the lower fender to bumper brace makes a difference for tire clearance on that lower front corner of the fender. I did exactly what you described. First I maxed out the brace, then I unbolted it altogether and pulled the fender corner out, and then I decided how long the brace should be and made it longer

Just FYI
To fit 245/50-15s (about 24.6 tall),onto the factory KH brakes, I had to pull the bs way in until the wheels just hit the Upper BJ at................full droop I think it was. I installed poly every where including the strutrods, and except installed the Moog Problem-Solvers, and 1.03 bars and the big 1.125 S-bar.. Then when I backed off the alignment rack, the tires rubbed where you indicated, so out came the tin snips. Then the UBJs tore off the wheel weights so I got the stick-ons. Then the tires hit the frame-rails in one direction and IIRC the strutrods in the other direction. lol, what a hoot those were.
This on a 68 Barracuda with Wheel-Vintiques custom bs Rallys.
I set the alignment to 3.6* caster and -.5* camber, and whatever toe to get the tire face temp even across the tread when traveling in a straight line. Was it worth it? Heck ya!; I wore those tires out driving city streets in about 5 weeks.Man did it corner! But those tires were too expensive to run off like that for this cowboy. The replacement tires were 235/60-14 BFGs (25.1), and of course I now had to slow down for the turns. A lot :(
