205/55R15s with ET+40?

Hello all, I was wondering will a 205/55R15 tire on a 15 x 6.5 ET+40 rim rub on a GD at stock ride height?

How about lowered with Tanabe GF210 springs (drop is F-1.5", R-0.9")?

I ran 205/50/15 on a 42 offset wheels with the GF springs and had light rubbing all around. I think with that size it will be the same.

Did rubbing occur whenever you drive conservatively around town or whenever you hit bumps? Also, about how much tire was rubbing and where? I think a little bit of camber could fix that.

Only when I hit bumps.
It was only rubbing outside of the tires.
Yes, camber would fix it or go with 195 width tires.
