Yup, it's a longhood without flares. When I bought the car 30+ years ago, it had Fuchs 15x6 fronts and 15x7 rears with 205 tires, IIRC. I didn't have any rubbing on the rear fender. I decided to go up to 16x7 in the rear, and then decided to go to "square" so I could easily rotate the tires. Now I have a light rub on the inside of the left rear fender and very slight rub on the inside of the right rear fender. I'm about to put stiffer rear T-bars in it, so I think those will tame the rub. If not, I'll increase the rear camber by 1 degree. It could also be a characteristic of the shape of those Michelins, and some other brand with a rounder shoulder might not rub.
I also have a set of cookie cutter 15x7's with Nexgen WinGard winter tires. Ian Carpenter strongly recommended them and I think they give up only a little to 3-season tires on dry pavement, and obviously do much better in cold, wet, and slippery weather.
