If I've got it right, the only difference between those tires and 
stock tires is the width of the contact patch. Stock tires are 205mm 
wide. Your tires are 215mm wide, or a whole 1cm wider. I can't 
imagine that a tire 1cm wider would come close to rubbing. I'm no 
expert, but you should have no problem.
