Have you been following Ron Sutton's threads on suspension design in the Chassis/Suspension section? Lesson learned for me -- if I were starting from scratch, I would design my supension/tire combo first. If you go a modern high-travel, low roll set-up, it will certainly drive all of your tire clearance considerations. Then I would figure out what the flare and inside fender-well shapes would have to look like to clear the suspension travel/tire combo. Finally, I would pick the flares that gave me at least minimum clearance. I would not want to be caught having to limit my suspension options because of fender clearance issues. I am still cutting up an "almost finished" car to make room for improved technology suspension design. Love your project -- good luck.
