im sure you'll be fine. many people get +40offset with 10mm penguin spacers without issue. I had an effective +27 offset 16x7 on 195/50/16 tires with tuck and had no issues at all...even with our crooked rear axle beam.

That is super subtle not aggressive at all. You should be fine

Any updated pics since you've gone lower?

using 150mm megan rear spring chppped rear shock bolt by a good 1.5 inches..The trick to lowering these more was to reuse the oem upper spring seat and lose the spring perches

After:

Diched the rear spring perches, reused oem upper top hat lowered it by an extra 1inch, once this settles it will be highly tucked, though I am dissapointed with the free travel of the megan yaris shock..I am looking into the Function and Form or D2 offering for the 07 Honda Fit as they are shorter by a good 20mm than the yaris

Running 2 sets of oem toyota camber bolts in the front (2 camber bolts per wheel) I would conservitively put this at -3..no more fender liner issues..May slot the strut holes if I ever man up and get the TR Motorsport 15x9 36+ offset wheels

I miss my ep3 but the vitz is growing on me just wish you could use camber plates and lose the crap torsion beam

my old 07 yaris with Type S front lip, on tein basics, not a good coilover imo, these are maxed and still not low and too softly valved/sprung

My car with 15x7+25mm wheels and 205/50/15's:

No rubbing issues. Could still go a little lower also. I did pull and roll my fenders far enough to clear 225/45/15 tires on the same wheels.

Am i correct in gathering that 205/50/15s wont be a problem for a car that is lowered 1.8 inches?

and is there a preferred offset range to use?
