I'd recommend rolling your fender lips for optimum clearance.
Look at a set of BFG Traction T/A tires, P205/65R15 front, P215/65R15 rear. Traction T/A's will handle very well, work very well in the rain, and will be stickier than what you've got. If you get lucky, they may actually fit under your car without rolling the fender lips.

You shouldn't need to roll your fenders for that size tire.
I have 215 in the front on mine with 1 inch drop springs and have no issues.
Also, you don't need 15x8 wheels for the rear for 215s. This setup will make the tire look too narrow for the rim. I would run the 15x7 all around even if the rear is a 215.

But my 3.75" backspace is still wrong for my 15x7's, right?
I should have the same wheel dimensions, but have a 4.25" backspace, front and back, and have 205-65-15 front tires, and 215-65-15 back tires?
