15x7 30+ offset 205/50 tires will it rub in rear

Sorry to ask such a general question...have an opportunity to get a set of kosei 15x7 30 offset wheels for cheap and swap over my 205/50 tires my car is basically slammed will this rub in the rear?

im sure you'll be fine. many people get +40offset with 10mm penguin spacers without issue. I had an effective +27 offset 16x7 on 195/50/16 tires with tuck and had no issues at all...even with our crooked rear axle beam.

That is super subtle not aggressive at all. You should be fine

Any updated pics since you've gone lower?

using 150mm megan rear spring chppped rear shock bolt by a good 1.5 inches..The trick to lowering these more was to reuse the oem upper spring seat and lose the spring perches

After:

Diched the rear spring perches, reused oem upper top hat lowered it by an extra 1inch, once this settles it will be highly tucked, though I am dissapointed with the free travel of the megan yaris shock..I am looking into the Function and Form or D2 offering for the 07 Honda Fit as they are shorter by a good 20mm than the yaris

My car with 15x7+25mm wheels and 205/50/15's:



No rubbing issues. Could still go a little lower also. I did pull and roll my fenders far enough to clear 225/45/15 tires on the same wheels.
