I encountered the same problem with the same size
tires on my '66, whose rear end does sag a bit.  The
body was a little off center and the rub was on the
pass side.  I loosened the body bolts and nudged it
over about 1/8" to solve my problem.  Other fixes
would be to add or beef up the leaf springs.  Some
people turn them upside down, but I think that
adversly affects your handling, so I would pass...
