Coilovers have much smaller diameter springs, so you end up with more clearance on the inside than with spring/strut.

Both will be totally fine. As I posted above, I'm on 17x8 +48 and both of your choices will have more clearance inside than mine. Fender clearance is not even close to being an issue. I'm running the same size tire.

Personally, I'd go with the 8" width.
