Help! Amateur Mistake $$$

[elev8_dude]

However said ignorance is bliss didn't own a bug. I had stock tires all around on 1970 Indy slot rims (Shelby 500 5.5" wide). I added CB Performance 2.5" drop spindles and changed my front shocks to KYB-GR2's and here comes the problem. I wanted a beefier tire so I changed them to 185/65 R15. I went as wide as I could go on those 1970 wheels and now I rubbing.

I WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE BUG JAM IN NOVEMBER! And problems keep popping up.

I've thought of wider fenders, different rims and tires, narrower beam but they are all $$$. The fender option is the easiest but if I change the front I have to change the back. HELP! I've been to other forums asking for some ideas, but I figured I try here also. Any help would be much appreciated.

Love my bug, but still frustrated.
