I had that problem with a 3.5" drop and 255/60R15 tires on 8" rims with 3-7/8" backspacing. The disc brake conversion I installed exacerbated this problem by shifting each wheel outward by 3/4".
15x7 3.75 backspace . Tires are 215/65 . The rims I had on it were 16x8 with 5-1/2 backspace came off my Tacoma tires were 265/70r16 and they never hit and they were real close to the fender lip . The kit I bought supposedly doesn’t add anything to the track width . I bought the CPP kit that uses the original ball joints and tie rods
