You need to check the rear off set of the tyres to the rear upright for interference

Test fit the wheels today…. They seem to clear everything in front, but touch on the rear at the upright cross shaft… but that’s the wheel only…
I made a mistake on the wheel sizing, these are 15” rims.
At ride height, I‘ve got about an inch between the body and the rim on the front edge of the wheel (see the picture). There is more room in the back.
The question is how do they fit with tires?
Tires that fit supposedly are 225/45 R15, and 205/50 R15, I would probably go with the 205s to gain about 1/2 inch clearance.
Would like to find one of those wheel/tire simulators, It would allow me to see if it’s a good fit.
I don’t want to have to buy a single tire to move it around the car for fitment testing.
What I’m wondering is when the rear suspension is compressed, does the wheel move vertically, or in an arc towards the body inside the wheel well?
I guess to really do a good check. I’d have to get a tire, remove the shocks & springs and swing the suspension.
Here’s some pics.. Not sure why there are two of the same picture.
