Ok I have updates I started striping the nasty spray paint off the wheels a few days ago.
Tools of the trade... This stuff kicks ass doesn't hurt the original finish but melts the spray paint like butter! And Stella goes great with paint thinner fumes.
I got two wheels striped and did a mock up today with 38mm spacers and the slashed tires that came on the wheels they are 235/45/17, balloons. Anyway I think they should fit with a light roll and 215/45/17's or so. I'm no stretch expert though.
The fender is sitting on the tire up front it'll be lower with stretch.

I somehow doubt that will be enough.
what kind of suspension do you have? or do you have just cutted springs?
personaly, I'd raise the car a little and put some smaller spacers in.
just my 2 cents
I have 225 /40 / 18" with 10mm spacers and lowered it something around 40mm, reworked housings and I still have to pull the fenders. I get that screeching noise and the funny smells if I drive in track mode lol
sucks.
on the other hand I never could drop my car any lower because I have the M-Tech bumper with M3 GT flaps....and our curbs and roads in Germany arent so smooth like the Florida ones.

205/40/17 all round if the wheels are any wider then 7 1/2inch do 195's if there 7inch wide
roll rear with a metal pipe (jack handle)
m3 top mounts for up front adds around 1.5 deg of camber if i remember right
