I know all tires are different (even ones that are the "same") but based on my experience you'd need to consider front fenders that are at least 20mm wider than stock.

I currently ave 225/50R16's on 16x8 +32mm wheels with -1.5 degree of camber and I *just* barely clear the fenders. I've since slightly rolled (beat with rubber mallet + heat gun) the front fenders for extra clearance because I was rubbing on track days. I really want to step up to 17x9 +22mm wheels with at least 245/40R17 tires so that's an additional 22.7mm of fender I'd need not considering camber and differences in tire width.
