With 135's , go with drop spindles and 2" narrowed beam. No rubbing, slightly increased turn radius.
I've got 185/60's in front ( more rubber on the road) with the above set-up and no rubbing.
Oh yeah, the narrowed beam helps with mine because I've also got disk brakes which adds 1/2" to the width. So , you wind up with 1/2" narrowed beam ( both sides) which isn't too much, but makes for a decent look.
