Softstars or Speedlines will not rub when lowered, they are a 49 offset which is perfect. Your 15's that rub will be a crap offset which is why they do rub.

make sure you get the right offset and have ur arches rolled or cut away so you get no rubbing or catching,

i have my gsi down 60mm on 15's and it catches so i have to get my arches done
