If the wheels are the correct offset, 215/35/18 shouldn't rub

Assuming the Tyre is rubbing on the arch, you could buy a set of whiteline camber bolts and put slightly more negative camber on the back wheels to just tuck the top of the wheels inside the arch's.

Think Camber bolts are about £30, then you would need the cambet set up properly.
would probably make the inside edge of the tyres wear slightly quicker than the outside.

I had these on a slightly lowered car and it would only rub if people in back. Try rolling the rear arches much cheaper option.
