The inclination of the PHB will have a lot to do with whether it will or not. The car appears to have been lowered, so absent any information about relocating PHB pivots (which can be done but almost nobody does) the DS wheel will be drawn slightly "inward" as it rises relative to the bodywork. It's the other side that might be more at risk, assuming that the tire to fender clearance on the other side is a perfect mirror-image of this picture.

Spring, shock, and rear sta-bar stiffnesses all figure in as to how much clearance is actually necessary to cope with whatever conditions any specific car encounters.

The exact contour of the tire's shoulder region definitely matters, with a more gradually rounded shape being better for clearance (at a slight sacrifice in contact patch tread width). Even this lunch counter isn't free.

I'm running 20x11's out back with 305/30/20's...on Eibach Sportlines.

It's all about the offset of the rim.

I agree. Offset is the most important aspect. I ran 20x11 Steeda Spyder wheels with Nitto Invo 315/35 out back and had no issues. You also have to make sure your rear is properly centered. Panhard bar will do that, cause once you drop it, it will go off center.
