I've got 195/55/15's on the back of mine, arches are rolled and no scrubbing but it did scrub before the arches were rolled.

Being et38, they will be sticking out further than a OEM wheel. So its the arch lips that will cause issues. It also depends on the width, many afetrmarket wheels are 7J width, a whole inch more than slabs or Cesaro's say.

Personally I wouldn't touch them. 3dr hatch I assume?

My 195/45/15's scrubbed on my arches (standard) on 6J ET49 wheels.
