fingers inbetween the tire and inside of the wheel
whell not to mention that a good part of the top of
the tire is inside the whell( out of view)
  and now from really taking a look at the Fuchs they
are 15x7" my question is, is there going to be any
rubbin that I have to be concerned with? The fronts
have plenty of room. >>

The 15x7 Fuchs wheels are, as I assume you're aware, optional O.E.
wheels for your car. I have the Fuchs on my car, which is not lowered,
and it is very tight in the rear--but I have not had rubbing problems
with any tires I have used (I run stock size, 205/60/15).

The key question is what size tires are you running? One ex-local lister
(who now lives back East and I think lurks here still) had a beautiful
lowered pearl 5ktq with Fuchs wheels and I think he had something like
215/50 or 55 tires, looked great, handled good, and didn't rub IIRC (you
out there for comment Gross????).
