they will rub unless u cut the guards out or bash them around outta the way (Bashing is easier).
i only got 195/65 R14s on mine and had to remove the mudflaps and bash the gaurds outta the way where they were tryna to rub

you'll have 3.5mm more room around your tyre than Matatak, but I'd say that means you'll still have some work to do...

lol did u work that out cooloothin
in my head i was guessin hed have less room but neway id beleive u mroe than myself
if you do have more room than me then ull not have a problem gettin a hammer out and bashing some of the front gueard away and a bit at the rear
i think mine still runs slightly close especially when hittin bumps and that but urs will eb fine
