15 mm spacers & 16x7 wheels

Anyone running 15mm spacers on all 4 16x7 wheels, if so what tire width?
I currently have 15mm H&R spacers on my OEM 15X5.5 et45 rims and stock tires of my 2011 "Justa Mini". I just ordered a set of Konig 16x7 et40 Feathers in matte black and will fit them with 205/55-16s. I'd like to use the spacers as well but... it seems as though I'll have rubbing issues... Someone please let me know if you have info, suggestions etc.
Thanks much...

I have 16x7 et35 wheels with 205/50 tires and have no rubbing with NM lowering springs (1.2in drop). I've heard of people rubbing with 205/55. If you use the spacers along with the new wheels I'm pretty sure you'll have some rubbing. Search the wheel section, there's a couple threads dealing with different offsets/widths.
