You should have no issues with that size wheel/tire and offset. Even if you lower the car you will not rub on the fender etc.
Basically you are moving the outer and inner edge of the wheel 8mm further out than stock. This will close the gap to the fender by 8mm.

How about with 4 people in the car would it rub then.
