Have a similar setup, with the exception of 15x8 aftermarket rims. No rubbing problems here at all. 31x10.50 is a common tire upgrade for this vintage in this area.

How much front spring sag do you have???

Suggest to find some aftermarket rims that have a more outward offset, consider 30x9.50 tire, or just don't turn so tight! :-)~

I had an issue with the front spring sag - wearing the tires on the insides, and just looked goofy with the tires pulled in at the tops.

Found it was cheaper to replace the springs than to buy the necessary spring spacers. Doesn't look like yours are sagging too bad yet, though.
