Width and offset of the wheels? -60mm will go if they're sensible offset and sensible size tyres.

I had Oz Exclusives on ET38, 195/45/15 down 60mm front and 50mm rear. Rear arches rolled. No scrubbing, but I had removed the rear seats.

60mm should be fine.

Dont be soft, Run some 175 maybe 165/45 tyres and gently take the arches back. Get it on its **** 60mm at least.
