Default EG- Tire/wheels sizes and scrubbing

Hello. I've been doing a bit of research to pick out tires and wheels for my 1992 CX and now I need to hear your experiences to find out if they'll actually fit.
I'm going to be running 16 x 7.5" wheels with either 225 or 245 width tires to deal with immense amounts of HP (400+). Will these will fit on an EG? I will be running custom/modded fenders, so rolling the fenders isn't an issue. The only thing I'm concerned about is interference with the suspension/chassis. I have JimFab traction bars as well.
The 16" tires that I'm looking at have a diameter in the range of 24-25" while 15" wheels have a diameter of around 23-24".
Anyone have any experience running anything like this setup? Will I need to run wheel spacers as well?

Thanks
Ben

Did it rub on fenders or chassis/suspension? Was your lock-lock turning affected?

Thanks
