Wheels for uncut '68

My Daughter has a '68 that hasn't had the rear fenders cut. We put a 2.5" lift kit on it and 15x8 Eagle Baja wheels with Goodyear 235 MT/R's. The offset on the wheels causes the rear tires to run real close to the fender opening lip. In fact, we originally put 30" MT/R's on it and had to swap them because once it was off level, one of the rear tires would rub.

Any suggestions for a similar wheel that would reduce the offset and pull the tires inside the fender opening?

Thanks.

Go with the same wheel in a 7" width. This will fit the 235 better and should bring the tire in a little more with the right offset. They will also fit the 30x 9.50s too. You should be able to try a set of them on with the tires you want to see if they will clear, at a good tire shop.
