I have mags 15x7 offset 35 with 205 and it doesn't rub with rolled rear fenders. So in your case, it may not rub or barely. Also depends what tires you are using.

The tires are MUCH too big for your car and they will probably rub. You need 195/50-15.

No, you can't jump to that conclusion. Your 205 tires are probably 205/50-15, which are less than 2 percent larger in diameter than your stock size. Because his tires have a higher aspect ratio - 195/60-15 - they have a much taller sidewall than yours, so they wind up almost 7 percent larger in diameter than stock. They will probably rub, even though yours don't.
