Not sure if the rear is scraping, but I'm assuming under high enough load it will. The front scrapes occasionally under high load with the wheels turned.

Point here is that I'm on similar wheels to you, and they rub with reasonably high camber. Your fronts will likely be alright, but the rears are going to poke out considerably. This car clearly prefers higher offset, I'd suggest looking for an ET40 set if possible. Camber plates are mandatory, and you might need to make compromises on treadlife to fit.
I don't care about it poking out at all tbh.. id rather is poke put and fit than to run a bunch of camber to make it work..
