They should be ok, that's what Roen uses for his R's at the moment IIRC. I use 15x8's at a combined offset of about 29mm and I've got no problems with 225/50/15's (although I'm on coilovers with a bigger front sway), so with a narrower rim (that outer rim is 7.7mm further in than mine) you should be ok. Some bigger sways wouldn't be a bad idea to keep the body roll down which should minimize the chances of fender hits.

They'll fit, barely, you may have tire peeking out of the fender.

Should be ok, but you might need a spacer in front depending on the tire.

Thinking about getting a set of Rota D2's.

18x8 , 5x114.3 25mm offset in the front
and 18x9 5x114.3 30mm offset in the back.

Ksport coilovers, stock body, will roll if needed.

Also tire size, thinking 225 in the front, 245 in the back? Dont want much tire on em really but dont want it to be stretched to the point where the lip has nothing protecting it.

Yay or nay?

I'm looking to get some tires for my new rims, I know for sure that I can fit the front without any rubbing to the suspensions and fenders but I kinda need an opinion for the rear.

Just installed stance coilovers, still have stock fenders.
So what I got are
Front: 17x7.5 +35 offsets, thinking of 215/45/17, these should fit fine?

Rear :17x8.5 +35 offsets, thinking of 245/40/17, I believe these should fit fine, not really sure, any opinion would be nice, should I go wider?

I would like to know if either if these would fit for the front, going for a flush look:

17x8 +37 (5mm spacer?) or
17x8.5 +31 (2-3mm spacer?)

using stance coilovers on stock fenders

thanks for any input, according to RETed's chart, the rear shouldn't be a prob.
