Default 17x8.5 +47 ; 235/40/17 will it fit on RSX?

I'm planning to put 17x8.5 +47 setup with 235/40/17 tires, but I'm not sure what to do with the rear fender. I guess that the rears should be rolled in order to fit the wheels in the car. Could you guys please give me any tips or suggestions for this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is quite URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you~

8.5 might be a tad much

well im rocking 17x8 with +35 offset rims with 225/45-17 tires, and im dropped 3 inches all the way around, and my rear fenders are rolled. there is really no need to roll the front, unless your offset it real crazy. so im pretty sure you'll need to roll your rear fenders.

his offset is high meaning the wheels are closer to the hub

and it's not going to fit. if you had s2000 they would.

i've got 17x8 with 235/40/17 lowered about 3 inches with the factory camber in the back, i don't rub at all, the fenders are not rolled at all.

Is there anyone who actually has used this setup?
Shouldn't I testfit the rims first and see if there is a possibility of the wheels touching the sidewall or something when steered fully to the left or right?
I would also like to know the maximum offset that can be fitted onto RSX...
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
