But will 215/45-17 fit a 17x8 rim?

I'm concerned that the 17x8 rim will stick out. My stock Viggen wheels (17x7) get curb-rashed all the time because (i) i'm an idiot, and (ii) the rim sticks out a little past the 215/45-17 stock tires and get no protection from the tires.
If 17x7 rims do that, won't 17x8 be worse?
