SC 15" wheel and tire combo clearance

I'm fitting 15" Group 4 wheels with 7's @ ET23 & 8's @ ET10 offset on my SC backdate/outlaw project. Now I'm trying to decide on tires. The car will be lowered and fender lips heavily rolled. I am interested in the Achillies ATR-K Sport, in 225/50/15 and 245/45/15. Any thoughts on if these will fit? I like the idea of a little more tire filling the wheel well and adding a little meat. The other options are Toyo R1R or RA1 tire models in the 205 and 225 sizes, which I assume would fit fine. Interested in any thoughts.

The intended use is spirited Porsche group runs in the hills, gatherings, etc. perhaps some track days.

They should fit fine, the question is how good are they?

Other ways to go
BFG G-force Rival S 1.5(EP) 225/45 & 245/40

Maxxis Vectra VR-1 205/50 & 245/40

Toyo R1R or RA1, Pirelli P7 205/50 & 225/45 or 225/50
