How wide are your rims?
What is the offset of the rims?
What tires are you running?

Mmm should say something like +30 up to +45

7,5x15 rim with a high offset can indeed cause rubbing on the inside of the wheel panel.

Why use 7,5 wide rims when 6x15 , 6,5x15 can carry 195 tires very good?

Try and find the offset, here's what you can do from cheaper to expensive:

1. remove wheelpanels (not recommended)
2. use wheelspacers (not recommended)
3. buy different rims with the correct size/offset
