that might be 205m width or 225mm can't remember.
i've got 205/40/17 and they used to scrub badly over bumps until i cut the bolts and glued on the plastic arch thing, now it only scrubs with people in the back over bumps, my offset i don't know

60mm so yeah you will get scrubbage with wide wheels another way to sort this is to trim back the metal to the bolt holes

you are probably going to have to try pulling the arches out a bit, i had et35 17's with 205 tyres on mine and down at 40mm it scrubbed like a badger

i reccomend pulling the arches and looking into thinner tyres, maybe a 185/175 to gain some extra clearance
