Default 03 civic, 17's to much?

have an 03 civic EX 4dr sedan. Im thinking of some 17x7 rims (Exel M6's about 17#'s) with 215/45/17 tires. Anyone think it will hurt perf any, are they too big?

No eng. mods planned, its just a commuter i want to handle better., hoping for eighbach prokit, stb, with this wheel/tire set up and be done, but i worry my gutless engine would have troubble turning all this rubber., any comments appreciated.

its harder to accelerate, but gas mileage is better on the freeway

It better be lowered at least 2.5 inches. That wheel well is huge.
