Thumbs up Which Front Fender To Go With?

well, i'm running Enkei RPF1 17X8 +45 wrapped with 225 tires in the front.
Just wondering which front wide fender i should go with to TOTALLY avoid the rubbing.
i did some research but cant find a clear answer, considered the cwest ones but i heard they are VERY fragile, and the seibon ones doesnt fit really well.
so, any suggestions guys?
car is on stock height but gonna lower it once i got this solved.

Thanks In Advance.
Ted

thx sinji, the thing is i dont want to run with cambers...i dont know why but just dont feel like it and it feels to me that the setup is not "perfect"..maybe i'm nick picking here but that's the way i feel.
any inputs on seibon fenders? i got mixed up infos on them but the 10mm just seems right.

you dont need aftermarket fenders at all. Alignment using the stock U.K. specs would be fine (1 degree in the front) if you're not slammed.
