My fear is that the rubbing will be much more of an issue at 100mph : /
Going to Buttonwillow on Sunday as well, so I need to find a solution fast!!!
Any input would be appreciated!

If you stand outside of the car with the wheel cranked all the way and have someone back up is the rubbing on the fender on the outside or on the inside? If it's on the outside it shouldn't be too bad, but if it's bad enough you could cut the tire under load. If it's on the inside then you are probably hitting the shock. I ran two events like this without problem, but I'm guessing it's less than ideal. If you can see behind the wheel look for some black scrap marks on the actual shock (like in this photo). If yours look like these you may have to get some wheel spacers.
