Default 90 EF Hatch Wheel/Tire Questions - 15x8, 205/50/15

After looking around, I decided I wanted to get some Buddy Club P1's (15x7) with Nitto NeoGen 205/50/15, but after reading that it rubbed, I decided on Nitto NT450 195/50/15's. Fine and dandy, right? Well I saw a post of an 89 Si Hatch with TRMotorsports C1 (15x8) with 205/50/15. I absolutely love how the thing sits. (I'll have a link below to the thread.)

So here is what I'm asking:

I like the P1's and I really want the Nitto NeoGen 205/50/15s, but if I have to roll my fenders for those to work, I might as well go with the C1's (15x8) with the NeoGen 205/50/15s. If anyone has used the P1's (or a 15x7 wheel with +35 or +42 offset) and a 205/50/15 tire, will I have to roll my fenders? If so, I'll just go with the C1 wheels, NeoGen 205/50/15 tires, and roll away.

I have the Buddy Clubs (15x7) and Toyo Proxes 4 (205/50/R15) and I had to roll my fenders.

Would you happen to have any pictures you could show me? I'd like to see what it would look like.

IMO, go with the tr motorsports 15x8 +20 and roll fenders.
Also, go with 225's.

That's what I planned on doing. Since I have to roll the fenders anyway, might as well go even wider. So with the TR Motorsports C1s 15x8 +20, 225/50/15 tires, and rolled fenders, will I be good to go? No rubbing issues? I plan on getting Blackworks coilovers next summer, and I'd like to be sitting pretty low (not hellaflush lol), so I'd like to be able to sit relatively flush with wide wheels and no rubbing.

Also, what tires would you recommend if I go 225? From what I've seen, the NeoGens only come in 205/50/15 in the 15". I don't know anything about tires, so any help there would be awesome.
