What did you do with the washer fluid tank to prevent rubbing on it? Mind hits towards the bottom of it pretty good, I tried just removing the pump but it still contacts the tank as well. Ideas??

I only had to remove the pump for the rear window sprayer, but I was able to keep the fluid reservoir and the front pump and I don't have any rubbing there anymore. I just plugged the hole for the rear pump with a wine cork.
I have the 315 Cooper STTs (they run 34.5" tall and 11.75" wide at 30 psi - as J-money$$$ mentioned earlier). I also have a 1" BL, stock 5 star wheels, and 1" wheel spacers. I do rub on the frame when fully turned, but it isn't that bad. There isn't much I can do about it anyways. I also rub the UCAs when it's fully drooped and turning, but it just wipes the dirt off, no big deal either. But... that's all
after I cut my fenders back ~1" and pounded the firewall back about 1.5". That's my 315 MTR spare in this pic BTW. The old MTRs run the same size as my Cooper STTs. The new MTR Kevlars (like J-money$$$ and Dirtco have) are about .5" taller and .5" wider..
After trimming about 2" off the back of the inner lip on each rear fender, the only thing I rubbed in the rear was the gas filler tube cover (in the D/S wheel well). That is until it got torn off during the last wheelin trip. No rubbing anymore. I also extended my rear bump stops 1.5". I cut a 3" rubber mallet in 1/2 and used the 2 halves as spacers..
Here's some more pics...
