Changes:
Bilstein 6112 up front. 1.1" estimate. #4 driver and #2 passenger clips
Bilstein 5100 & Eibach coils 1" estimate for stock weight
Trying to learn photo uploads. seems there's a size limit in kb not mb. pics coming soon

Not a lot of wiggle room for knobby tires with near stock suspension height, so trimming will most definitely be needed. Get comfortable with a dremel and a heat gun, take your time and plan out where you're cutting, put some painters tape over the area and measure out your line so it's the same on both sides before cutting.
Also, you could have a touch more caster, especially on your passenger side, which will make the problem worse (ie. slightly more trimming) but your vehicle will track better on the highway.
The amount you'll need to trim to make your current setup work will be really minimal. You could quite likely just trim off that little lip at the bottom of the wheel well and be fine. Cut it off flush with the wheel liner and don't worry about it again unless you go with bigger tires or a more aggressive offset wheel.
Happy trimming!
