Oh, and I forgot a key element. On the X, if you have wider wheels/tires, its far more likely to snag a front fender when turning. That is; when cornering hard. This is because the wider wheel/tire has limited clearance further forward in the wheel well. So when turning the outside wheel/tire moves forward as you turn the steering wheel and in response the chassis rolls, compressing the outside suspension and using up the available clearance. So I would suggest redoing your clearance test. Remove the spring and turn the wheel until the tire is closest to the leading edge of the fender opening and then compress the suspension, with the steering in that position, to see how much clearance you actually have.
When I was building my X1/9 racecar, I had to allow for 13x8.5 wheels and 225/50 tires, with the car cornering at very high lateral g _and_ accommodate full suspension travel at high steering angles. I ended up having to cut the leading edge of the fender all the way to bulkead for the headlight bays. Even then the tires would rub slightly in extreme situations. I also completely cut away the OE flares and used a Bayless front flare with the forward portion cut away as it didn't blend with the 1500 bumper cladding.
Reference the photo below, you might have seen it before. But take a closer look. Compare the top of the left front tire, which is a 20.5 inch tall tire, to the body line that passes through the fender opening. Now compare that position to that of your car. You have a much taller tire, probably nearly 23". So this car sits very low. Now consider how much the right front suspension has compressed. Yet the tire didn't rub and the suspension didn't bottom. This car does have considerably more suspension travel than most any street driven X.
