May cause clearance issues on the inside of the wheels and they'll sit in too far. 10-15mm spacers should do the trick

I have 16"x 7 ET30 MIM's on at the moment with 205x50 tyres. They fit without any spacers.

Depends on what width they are as well.

On a previous car I had 16" x 7 ET 35 that needed a spacer on the front to clear the strut.
E30less again.

I'd put your spacers on anyway, just to fill the arch a touch

think itl be a case of try and see how they sit in the arches first bud, the rear of mine is -80 mill so they need to sit inside the arches anyway, some tinkering at the weekend awaits :)
