As above, offset hangers are an option that may provide enough clearance to satisfy you, but you will still need to weld new spring-mount pads onto the rear-axle tubes. No way around that bit of welding, and you will need to locate the new mount-pads at the revised width and correct pinion-angle. I explored the offset spring hangers years ago, but eventually chose to relocate using the Mopar Performance Leaf-Spring-into-Framerail Relocation Kit. I fit P315/60R15 - 30"x11.5”x15” Micky Thompson ET Street D.O.T. Drag Radials and a Dana 60 to my '71 Charger. Here is a "How-To" on what is involved: Spring Relocation

As long as the "original" pinion angle is/was correct.
The pinion-angle is not always correct/ideal as found, due to wear/sag, swapped/replacement parts, sloppy work from the factory, etc.
That said, if currently it's correct, Dr. Diff makes an excellent point.
