Just do it anyway and don't tell her. She won't know, unless you're married to Danica Patrick.

Just get good, light spacers. H&R 25mm are only around 2 lbs each, magnesium/alumium alloy keeps them light, hard anodize finish stops corrosion.

To answer the rubbing question, we would need to know the wheel width and offset. With the correct wheel, it would be fine. There is some member with 315/35/20 all-round.
You're doing it backward. You don't just get tires because they are a very good deal. Then go search for wheels which: 1. Have to fit the car and 2. Have to be the correct size for the tires you already have. Wheels are harder to find one that fit properly since there would be 4 factors to determine if they fit, and they have to be the style you like.

I would find the wheel first and pass on those tires

+1----Did you plug in the year, make and model on the Tirerack site? If so, wheels that come up in a search will fit. It also mentions what tire size is recommend. It is quite possible that you can deviate from the recommended tire size but it is important that the chosen tire doesn't have too little or too much overhang for the desired rim.
