Rubbing depends on the offset. I think you'll want something like 55 for the offset.

the front offset is +45 and the rear is +48, hows that?

This is from the wheel offset calculator:

Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 11mm MORE
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 23mm

So its still going to stick out quite a bit. However I have 17x8 45 offset in the rear of my S2000 and even though it sticks out a lot it doesn't rub. I'm not lowered though and if I was and I went over a bump it would probably rub. (oh and I'm using a 245/40/R17 tire)

So if you really want the wheels you can use them, but you would be better off if you could get a higher offset on the wheels.

I'm running same wheel with 1 little finger gap all around.(bilstein PSS)
front is 225/45/17
Rear is 245/40/17.(S-03..but S-03 tends to run wider than others)
Front only rubs minor when I go over big bumps. you should go with 215/45/17 front with this offset.
I'm getting 215/45/17 next time I'm getting tires.

For rear, it almost never rubs. it ONLY ONLY rubs very slightly when I have FULLY loaded car and goin into huge bump too fast. so I wont worry about it.

if you go with 245/45/17, more likely it will rub due to taller sidewall.
So stick with 245/40/17.
