so here's what I'm a thinkin' first inflate them to 35 PSI each cause they seem a bit on the flat side, and then consider a narrower Cooper Cobra Radial GT tire than the 245/60R15 which essentially is a 26.5" x 9.5" tire so something like a 215/65R15 which is a half inch shorter and 1 inch narrower tire at 26" x 8.5" might could work

It looks like your wheels get pushed out so far because of your backspacing, even a narrower and shorter tire might not solve the issue. A huge amount of your tire is out of the fender when your turning and that’s not even with the suspension compressed.
