Thumbs up Tire Questions 1993 Mustang GT

I ordered a pair of Draglite wheels 15x10 6.5 BS for my 1993 Mustang GT I was wondering Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Radial Tires - JEGS
I want to go with those tires But i am not sure which to get with out rubbing any ideas? Would these tires fit and i also want a little meat on the side....incase i hit a curb. And which locks do you all think i should go with? Things tend to get lost here in LDO.

You can mount the quadshocks upside down, and gain a little more clearance.

You can jamb a baseball bat between the tire and the fender lip, and roll the car, to gain clearance.
Or you could go get some airshocks...

The quad shock was rubbing all over my tire and would not let it enter right.....SO i got a hammer and took it out....n/p right....WRONG The inner wheel well was still rubbing.....So, i picked up my trusty BFH and had my way with the inner fender well But to no avail, it went in but would still rub a littlebit, BUT before I had another crack at it. The cops came and told me to keep the noise down .....So i packed up my stuff and called it a day.....2morrow is another day....and i will make those tires fit THEY LOOK DELICIOUS in the car. And i paid WAY to much to have them not fit. Thanks for your help.
