Looking at a set of 15x7 +35 Buddy Clubs - Will I have an issue

So my stock tires and finally worn out and it's time to get new tires, so why not get new rims? This is what I found:


15x7 +35 Buddy Club P1 on 205/50/15 Dunlop Durezza DZ101.

This is the one photo I've found on here from 07 in the land down under after 2 days of searching:


This is my current height with the S-Techs:


I'm worried this will rub, really really bad. I read that Bhsadht (spelling?) said that in his picture trail these rubbed, but was unsure of how bad it really was. I'm hoping I can fit them without any HORRIBLE rubbing. I can do fender liner tricks and that kind of stuff, but don't really want to beat the hell out of my fenders to get something to fit. The buyer will let me try them on before I purchase them.

What are your thoughts FFers?

They won't rub if you get skinnier tires, negative camber, rolled and pulled fenders.

^Ignore that guy.

The tires are mildly fat.

Tuck the front liners.

See how that goes.

At worst, you'll simply have to roll the fenders flat, no sort of pull.

You'll likely need to trim the rear tabs... Fronts might need a slight roll if anything...

Such minor rubbing I almost don't need to do anything. I'll do the fender tuck and figure out whats rubbing in the back, but it is really only on big big dips/bumps.

This is on Tein S-Tech's with one coil cut on the rear.
Hope someone else can learn from this thread.

So it has been less than a month, I tucked the fender liners and trimmed the rear tabs of the bumper, I couldn't figure out what was still rubbing until now:

It isn't hitting any metal which is good, but this kind of sucks!
