15 inch drag rim on fd

I just got a set of 15 inch drag rim and tires. The problem is they won't fit on the rear of the fd. It seems that part if the suspension is touching the inner part of the rim. Is there any modification I can do to make it fit?

I am using 15x10 SS Diamond racing wheels with 6.5" back space (steel - 21lb) and stock bolts/nuts. They fit perfectly after grinding off (about 2/3) the head of the nut holding the toe link.

What is your back space, rim width, and where are you experiencing interferences?

Typo, I meant grind off the head of the bolt - not the nut - holding the toe link. For more info see my thread https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-wheels-tires-brakes-20/15-3rd-gen-694952/
