Will this setup rub? 17" 7,5 35offset with 255x45

Greetings to all. First time posting. I looked through the Wheel Directory and Fitment Guide Chart

But still could not find firm answers. I have Subaru BRZ 2020, stock suspension with stock:

Rims: 17"x7 offset 48
Tires: 215x45x17

I want to buy a better looking rims but choice of 5x100 17" ones in my market is extremely limited and vast majority are 35 offset.

Setup I'm thinking about:

Rims: 17"x7,5 (or 8 max) offset 35
Tires: 225x45x17

Now I used tire calculators and understand that this setup will poke about 2cm (sorry, I'm metric
The question I have is whether or not this setup will rub the fenders on stock suspension?

Thanks

Here’s 17x8+35 w 225/45-17 tires. Depends on wheel design, it shouldn’t poke out.



Not a stock suspension, but Cusco struts w Eibach springs giving about 1” drop & as you can see, no rubbing on the fender.

Thanks for the feedback. I wander if this setup with +35 offset will put alot of stress on bearings or will it be fine?

+35 is not that far off from +48 as some offsets needed for wide-body fitting wheels attrocity. Imho safe enough. Obviously there will be slight load increase on wheel bearings and slight scrub radius increase, but not to killing extent.
