Default Will 8' square setup work

So I'm ordering some O.Z. wheels off of tirerack and my two options are 7.5 wheels in the front and 8.5 in the rear or 8 all around square setup. The offsets are I believe +50. Would there be front tire rub in the inner fender if I went with 8 all around?

8" is too narrow for the rear. Why not do the 8.5" all around with 245/40/17?

Agree with this but I have fit 8" +40 all the way around so yes it should fit.

It won't rub even if the car is lowered like 1" or so?

I rolled fenders front and back and relocated tab. Fronts definitely need a roll. Rears are close. But that's a +40 offset and you said yours would be +50 so you should be fine. If you have the option go 8.5
