Will either 215/45/17 45 offset or 225/55/17 50 offset fit?

i've read through past posts and i think i have my answer, but i wanted to see if anyone would confirm my conclusion.
i'm needing new tires for my 93 SS. the suspension is stock.
it seems the 215/45/17 with a 45 offset will clear the suspension and will not require fender rolling. is this correct?
it seems that the 225/55/17 might clear the suspension and will probably require some fender rolling that probably could be done ghetto style with a pipe or a bat. i think it is both the width and the profile contributing to this. is this correct?
i found the first tires and rims for about $700 whereas the second set is $300. both are nearly brand new. my tires are shot and my rims have flaking paint. if i can upgrade to 17" wheels i would rather do so since next brake job will need new rotors.
all advice is appreciated.
cheers!
