Default Deep dish rims

Which one of this set of rims works on SC400?
I want the widest and yet the biggest lip without adding a wide body or rolling my fenders.
Also should I have wider rims on the back?

Thanks

I'm running 18X8.5 front and 9.5 rear with a 17mm offset and that's about as much lip you can get on a stock bodied sc., all 4 wheels are super flush with the fenders, but the rear tires are a little too wide. I'm running 275,35,18 in the rear and they come out just a tad. with a 265, it will be perfect. Wheels i'm running currently are racing hart CRs with a 3.5 inch rear lip out back and a 2.5 front.

3.5 is good for an sc, you can manage a 4in, however some rims are made with 6 in lips.
