Rim and Tire sizing with koni kit questions

Ive got a 1999 9-3 base lowered with a koni kit. I just picked up a set of nice set of 17x7.5 35mm offset Ronal RT's for a $150 without tires. On my previous car that was not lowered i could fit 17x8 35mm offset wheels with 225/45 tires but they rubbed on the new car. I dont want to order new tires and then realize they dont fit. Anyone had experience with this? I was thinking 215/45 but its not much different than the 225 width. I hate to go down to a 215/40 because the roads around here suck and i dont want to bend the wheels. Any suggestions?

Also, is it possible to roll the fenders to gain some extra clearance? Thanks!
