Need opinions: 08 Fit with 15x8 +25 offset 195/45/15 tires

So I sold my wheels and am considering picking a sick set of wheels that are 15x8 +25 offset with 195/45/15 tires. They look so sick and i'm wondering if this would work... I previously had 15x7 +35 with 195/50/15 and got absolutely NO RUBBING. I am lowered on Progress springs if that helps.

Let me know your inputs, thanks!

You will need to roll and pull your fenders.

I PM'd another member on here because he actually bought the wheels I wanted in the same size and offset but had 205/50/15 tires. He is lowered on skunk2 springs and says that he only rubs when over bumps when the car is loaded. I was very skeptical with my old set up and was lucky that I rarely rubbed (15x7 +35 with 195/50/15).

Finally put them on today and drove with them around town. VERY SMOOTHE and so far, no rubbing at all. FYI, I am lowered on Progress springs.

Hellaflush or hellapoke which ever you decide to do. Dump it to the rim, pull and roll fenders.

Pulling the fenders on the front

Hi there I was just wondering how exactly can you full the fenders in the front to create more clearance? I have 15x8 wheels with 25 offset and currently running on 195-50-15 size tires. I just recently shaved off the lip underneath the rear fenders right down to where it's flat to eliminate the rubbing. But what do you mean to pull them? please advise.
