+8 to +15

You going to need coilovers to make it look decent. Rims before coils = dumb, What rims are you getting?

17x9 +15 should tuck with a roll or a mild pull (judging by thats a popular MB Battle size). If you go plus 8 you’ll have to fuck around with rear camber settings if you don’t want to pull the bitch which means multi link as well. Albeit is based on which rims you run as well… it’s not uncommon for some guys to pull off a 17x9 +5 on stock body.

Offset I’d go with +25 on a 9 personally. With the bit of stretch you have on the rim with the 215 it should clear without any fender rolling/pulling. If your up for rolling and pulling, then +15-20

If your running a 215, then go with ~+10-15 in the front and ~+5-10 in the rear. Or just go with something like +10 all around so you can rotate them.  
That will require you to roll your fenders and slight camber.

This was my convertible with 17x9 +5 in the back and 17x9 +10 in the front. The tires were 215/45/R17. The rear fenders were just rolled (not pulled) and the splash guards were removed in the front. I was running quite a bit of camber though. -3.5 degrees in the back and -3 in the front. It didn’t rub anywhere.
