As said, et38 will scrub day long. Maybe stretching some 165s over them might stop the scrubbing? (Wouldn't recommend it but its another alternative)

38s can be fitted you just need to remove the rear arch bolts and fold the lip over to stop it catching, et49 dont always work lol just put 195/45 16s on mine on a 7j rim et49 and they are rubbing the front archs away with a 60mm drop, gone throught the arch liner in 2 days lol

hi...I'm new to the forum, when I get round to it I'll put some pictures of my car on....anyway it has standard suspension and the wheels I've just put on are 17x7 (tyres 205/40 r17)with et35 offset 
.....they don't rub but if I lowered it they would......they fill the arches and in my opinion look fab!
as I said, I'll add some photo's later.

Agree with that, iam running ET38 with 195/50/15 with a 40mm drop & with the arch mod & trimming the plastic arch dont get any rubbing even with three up
Pictures will be in my garage soon.
