15x7.5 ET35 with 205/50 too wide?

January 22, 2026, 09:54:00 PM

Hey guys! I did some research and from what I've gathered even 15x7 ET35 might cause rubbing (ofc largely dependent on ride height).

For those who have messed around a bit, would you say 15x7.5 ET35 and lowered 30-40mm cause rubbing or any kind of interference on bumps or harsh road? What would you personally recommend? I would prefer to not have to cut or hammer the **** out of my wheel arches.

Thanks in advance!

I've run ATS cups 7x15 with an ET28 and 195/50 tyres, they rubbed slightly on the back, yours will be 7mm further in so I reckon they will be ok, if you went with 195/45.
