I run 26x9.5 on my 69 dart with the summit brand stars with only a 4" backspacing  and the passenger side rubs the fender in hard right turns. My suspension is all stock. I didnt roll the fender lip but I did grind the lip and the trim piece slightly,or else I would have cut a brand new tire to shreds. As it is it rubs every now and then. If you get the correct back spacing on the wheels you should be fine.
416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
11.06 open headers----so far!!

For some reason, the factory didn't center the rear axles between the fenderwells. Every Dart I've looked at had less tire clearance on one side.

Yeah, I am going to try to see if any way to at least slide over to center it. Driver side wheel lip is almost touching, maybe get a piece of paper in there if i am lucky. It has super stock springs, not sure on the rear spring perches, it had the springs in when i bought the car. I think I am just going to do the 3 inch spring move. Then I can get some real tires and wheels in there.
When in doubt, fix it

Dang Ma Mopars quality control folks 
How much room do you have on the inside of the drivers side? Do you know if you have the stock spring perches on the rear end or aftermarket ones? If stock you may not be able to move the rear end over towards the passenger side by loosening and readjusting the springs on the spring perches, some aftermarket perches have a bigger hole in the middle where the spring center bolt rides and you can slide them forward or backwards and side to side some, not a big amount, 1/4 to 3/8 inches maybe
