That should help a good bit, but if you could swap your front wheels for 15x7 it will help pull the tire away from where the inner fender rolls out to the fender lip. Keep in mind using those sizes will give you a little "rake" as the 245 is about 1.4" shorter than the 275. Just my .02¢.

I am in the middle of a frame off build using PB parts, LS1 etc... and reading your thread and has me wishing I had found a truck like yours and done exactly what you are doing. You have a good one hold on to it.
