Unhappy 16x8 +15 offset with 205/45R16 XL?

so i just bought my white 2009 fit sport, and really love these wheels
XXR Wheels - Style 501 Deep Lip Rims by XXR
or i wouldnt mind these either
http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-002-Wh...p/00267082.htm

if i get these wheels, i will get these tires
Achilles ATR Tires 205/45-16 • Shop for tires online

my question is, i have looked around the forums for quite awhile now, and everyone has different opinions and taste, i want to know will these work dropped on some Tanabe DR210's or T1R B52 Coil-over's? will they rub? if so, would i just have to roll the fenders, or would i have to pull as well?

thx much everyone

+15 offet? Yeah, you're definately gonna rub if you lower your car. Especially with 16x8's and 205/45/16's.

Look into keeping your ride height stock, or buying coilovers and raising them up near stock height.

you should be safe.
I had these 16x7 +35 w/ 205/45/16 tires on coilovers. no rubbing...dropped pretty low. COuld go lower but I think the fronts would rub..the rears clear no problem. I was on buddy club coilovers.
