Finally got the wheels and tires (took about 2 months by sea), put them on and just a little rubbing on the plastic on the wheel wells (the plastic), drilled a couple of 1 mm holes in the wells and tightened them up a bit to the frame with a steel wire. Voila, no more rubbing
The tires run really well on the highway, just a little bit more noise than the stock tires and behaves very well on all types of surfaces. Feeling good about my choice of tires.
Also got my fender flares from a company in Poland, about 150 dollars with shipping. Havent installed them yet but they look good and I hope they fit well.
