At least now you have tried and know. Otherwise you would always wonder.

Turns out the spacers were causing most of the problems on the tires rubbing not the actual diameter of the tires. I removed spacers that were 1/2" thick (I thought they were only 3/8" thick from memory but I was wrong. I replaced the 1/2" spacers with 1/4" spacers and the rubbing is virtually gone. On a big bump it rubs a tiny bit on the wheel well on the LH tire but I think I can run a smaller spacer before the wheel spoke contacts the caliper and likely cure it! I also realized the subframe could have been moved up just a smidge to cure the tire rubbing on the lower portion of the fender as well but so far the spacers have done the trick.

Luckily I'm only 30 minutes away from Laguna Seca and my son and I took the car out the Saturday of the Rolex Motorsports Reunion. We had a blast. First we started at Cars and Coffee in Seaside, checked out he Lemons show across the street, then drove up the street to Laguna Seca. It was a great day of racing. If we want to keep the hobby alive I think it is important to allow the younger generations to create core memories and worry less about keeping the paint shiny.
