Need wheel help ASAP

I have come across a real good deal on some buddy club p1s. Rim is 15x6.5 +35 offset. Tires are 205/50/15 kumho.
Im lowered on skunk springs with one full coil cut in rear. I sit 4.5 inches off ground all around.
My question is are these going to rub? If so how can I fix? Fender roll, liner tuck? Needed info asap. May buy today.

There are good chances that you rub, but it should'nt be that bad, the best you could do is rolling your fenders... i know there's a DIY thread in the forum

(i have 15x6.5 +40ET with 195/55R15 and lowered a little less than you and i only rub on very big bumps when going fast...)

You may scrape a bit going over big bumps but not too bad. You can do the bumper tab removal trick in the rear, that should help a bit. If you look at the one o'clock position inside the rear wheel well you will see a square tab with a sheetmetal screw in it holding the tip of the rear bumper to the fender. Cut that tab off and use a zip tie to hold it instead.

So front and rears rub, but they sit nice. I bought them. Will definetly need to roll fenders front and rear. Probably will be cutting all tabs off fender lips then rolling all fenders. Will have to do some trimming of the front fender liners as well.

sorry but you're likely to rub a lot. Stick with 42 and up. preferred 45 mm offset.
good luck.
