Is your car stock height? If so then yes, if no you will have to roll your fenders. ---

Since we’re on this topic sort of, what would be the max tire width possible without out rubbing on a lowered 240? ---

Then you will need to roll the fenders forsure. Thats the same setup as sasha was runnig IIRC and his rubbed. ---

I was running 17x9.5 +35 offset in the rear, and it rubbed slightly with properly sized 225 rubber. 17x8 and 225 with basic suspension change, shouldn’t rub. However, your tires are way too big from original profile. You should be using 225/40-17. Depending on how low you set the car, the camber change could prevent rubbing with rolled fenders, and dampening set stiffer. I would try playing with that first. You can always resort to pulling the fender later. ---

I can’t remember my exact ofset but I think it may be 32. With rolled fenders and the 225’s (I’m running 235’s) it should be fine. ---

Whoops! My mistake. My sizing was totally off, and it seems like you do have properly sized tires. I made that mistake because my old tires were actually 235/40-17. Hence the little slip-up with the 40 profile.
