those alone won't tell you if it'll fit or not...you need tire size too to give an approx. i'd say the front should be barely okay, but the rear will be rubbing, unless you MAADDD stretch your tires, but even so, you'll still rub a bit i'd say on huge bumps. This is assuming that "without mods", so no lowering or anything.
I had 205 +42 7.5" in fronts, and i had no rubbing issue, not even close. My rears were +42 245 8.5" and i had rubbing issue after i lowered 1.5inch. Assuming that you don't lower, then i think you should be fine. In the future when you DO lower the car, you'd probably have to spend the cash on coil overs so you have the height adjust ability though.
For the front:
Offsets lower than +43 are not recommended on the front because a very narrow tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+43 to +47 offset: 205 tires, 6.5" - 7.5" wide wheel
+48 to +52 offset: 215 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+53 to +57 offset: 225 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+58 to +62 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+63 or higher offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
For the rear:
Offsets below 40 are not recommended for the rear because a tire narrower than the stock tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+40 to +44 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" wide wheel
+50 to +54 offset: 255 tires, 8.0" - 9.5" wide wheel
+55 to +59 offset: 265 tires, 8.5" - 9.5" wide wheel
+60 to +64 offset: 275 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
+65 or higher offset: 285 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel

my cars riding on them right now, and other then major pot holes, i don't have rubbing issues. and my fenders aren't rolled, theyre completly stock.
I am on 225/45/17 fronts and 255/40/17 rears. Wheels are 17x7.5 45 front and 17x8.5 48 rear and the holes in my front fender liner will prove the fronts rub. Big bumps will and the rears will rub to.
