Definite scrub line issues unless running big diameter wheels. A 1.5" block on 15's is the safe limit. They're close, but as long as you don't sling the rubber off the rim & the u-bolts don't extend beyond nuts, you'll be ok.
That being said, I've seen more than one guy use 3" blocks w/o problems. It just seems to be an un-worthy risk.
Boris, what are you getting for the blocks?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
