I had 15x7 et 25 all round with 195 45 R15 tyres on mine with the same suspension set up, I had the tyres rubbing on the arches at all speeds when going over bumpy bits of road, but I would assume it would be ok if you were to roll the arches. I had the same wheels and tyres on with coilovers and it sat a touch lower but it didn't rub on the arches with those tyres.

Would I be better of with narrower tyres
Or is it the offset that's wrong

Yeah, normal et is 38 so you are already 13mm sticking out without the extra width. I used to run et 35 7 x 15 with 195-50 tyres on 25 mm lowered springs. No rubbing anywhere (never 4 up) with plenty of clearance on the rear..

Mine is lowered by 35/40 front 30/35 rear
Would the best option be run 185 45

Perhaps machining could be an option

I couldn't say weather a 185 45 would be ok as I've not tried them but I'd say it would help, if it were me I'd look at changing the offset though, or roll / cut the arches
