Looks like a 26" front will easily clear, what about a 27" tall front. What are y'all running?

I've got 27.5 MT on my 92.

28" GoodYears on my car with a 15 x 4 Draglite 2 1/4 b.s.

28s would tear the splash pans out of mine on a hard top end dump, may have been due to backspacing or something though. I had 3.5 draglites with 1.75 backspace

I used Moroso "old style" front runners 28"(27.75"actual)on 4"w wheel with 2 7/8" inset, more you can inset the more room you will have,may have to change spring rates though. My wheels(Holeshot) cleared both OEM and Mark Williams calipers without mods.Joe.
