Fronts will rub like crazy (at least 1/2" of interference) rears would not. Don't do it!

It should work. One time, I was using rims that were 18 X 7.5 with 40 offset all 4 tires. The rears had 235 40 and the fronts had 215 35 and the car was lowered 1.25 inches and only rubbed a little bit in the rear.

The 45mm offset is low and I can see a problem depending on the tire you choose and the section width of the tire. I do know we show a Mille Miglia HT3 for the car on our web site but it does rub and the offset is 45mm.
