Stick with the 45's and save yourself any potential hassle. 50's can rub particularly at the rear by the rear bumper mounting and on full lock. It is dependant on offset of the wheels being used though which will potentially correct it or could make it worse.

I was -60mm on spax dampers/springs.. with 195/50/15's.
Scraped everywhere. Really bad. Couldn't push it on bend's etc, totally ruined driving.

As has been said you're best of getting some 45 profiles.
