69 Dart Custom tire issue

Welp..I can now testify that 245/60r15's on Crager 4" back set wheels will not fit without mods. Maybe 4 1/2" BS would work, but 5 on 4 wheels...not so many options. I have almost 3/4" to the leaf spring and good clearances everywhere with the exception of the outter fender. The fender sits on the sidewall.
I like the width, wheels, etc. My easy options as I see them are raise the *** a bit, which I like if not over done. And either roll the fender or cut the lip. I am ready for the paint booth, so not excited about either, but cutting seems cleaner with less chance to screw the fender up.
I'd be interested in some opinions from the group. This pic shows the raised stance I am thinkin about.
