Who/what says they will rub? It's not all about the size of the tyres. The inset of each particular make of wheel is what will make some rub and some not. There are other things to take into consideration too, like the condition of all your suspension components etc. Wheels/tyres which are fine on one mini may rub on yours. The only way to find out is to try them.

You might find they fit no problem, or you may have to fit rear (thin) spacers and longer wheel studs to stop the rear tyres rubbing.

Just keep the current wheels. They are a much better size anyway !
