Post subject:  fender might hit?

I am looking at some 17x 8" with 4 1/2" off set they will stick out about an inch past fender. No lift kit installed. I am concerned that I might hit fender under centain conditions such as turning and hitting bump at same time. Any one have this problem
Or am i better off with 17x 8 with a 5.1/2" offset - any issues with these

245/70-17 is actually a 30.5" tall tire
245/65-17 is a 29.6" tall tire
235/65-17 is a 29.2" tall tire

OEM tire height is 29.1

I'm running a 255/65-16. My tires are 29.1" tall x 10.4" wide and I don't rub.
I've ran a 255/70-16 which is 30.3" tall x 10.2" wide and I didn't have any rubbing issues.

My wheels are a +25 offset which is what saves me from rubbing, especially when I had the 255/70-16.
