Subscribing...I am interested in the same exact width/diameter/offset setup but have not researched it yet.

Without issues? No. With minimal and livable issues? Yes.

Hope this link helps:

They will stick out some. 35mm would be better but still not great. This why I didn't go with XXR wheels. Wheels with 40-45mm will keep you from rubbing. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-s-anyone.html

I'm ruuning 16x8 +20 and with rubbing issues on the rear tyres (plastic wheel arch) when taking a bump. Mini Cooper Base R56 with stock springs:

How did you got they fit with no rubbing issues? (now I'm on 205/50 tyres).

I didn't do anything. Other install the h&r springs. Yesterday I installed a rear camber kit. But I did no cutting or anything. The only thing that rubs is my front under carriage spoiler. My tires don't rub at all. I check tire size when I get off from work for everyone and some pics too
