Default Getting a new set of wheels! Help!

Hi guys,
I am currently riding with my stock wheels on tein coil overs (about 0.7 inch drop) on my AP1. And now I am thinking to set a new set of wheels, Enkei RPF1 with Hankhook RS3.(I want to get a square setup)
But I have a little bit of concern. Since I do not want to get fender rolling on my car, I am struggle with what size of wheels and tires I should have got.
Here are the options:
1. Enkei RPF1 (+45 offset) 17x8 with 235/40/17 (both front and rear, square setup)
2. Enkei RPF1 (+45 offset) 17x9 with 245/40/47 (both front and rear, square setup)
3. Enkei RPF1 (+45 offset) 17x9 with 255/40/47 (both front and rear, square setup)
4. Any recommendation from you guys with Enkei RPF1 wheels.

Thanks,

Its the offset that will be the determining factor if you need to roll your fenders.

Required reading before you spend money on wheels

NONE of those will work without rolling fenders.

+45 offset is not particularly fender friendly

There are literally 200+ threads about rpf1s, all state one must roll fenders to fit.

all state one must roll fenders to fit.
Except this one:

OEM Front:

17" x 7.0", +55 offset, 215 tire
OEM Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset, 245 tire (255 on the S2000 CR)

RPF1 wheels that fit stock tire sizes without rolling the fenders.
Front:
17x7J 45
Rear:
17x8J 45

I know 'cuz there was a set of these wheels (in black!) that I couldn't wait to pull off my 2006 car when I bought in in July 2014. Looked like someone had stolen the wheel covers. Had Dunlap Star Spec tires on them. Wheels and tires went to a good home after I got proper OEM AP2V2 wheels and Bridgestone RE-11A tires.
