Icon2 Del Sol 17'' wheel fitment

Hello all,
im new here and im the happy owner of a 1995 VTi Del Sol, i just bought my car and i want to make some changes.
I love the looks of the Rota Grid gold wheels, they are 17'' 7.5'' et45.
I'm thinking of buying them along with some 205/40r17 tires, i want to know if they wont be to big for my car, i mean will they scratch the inside of the car when i turn?

U do relise that big rims are too heavy for the poor car... Not only will it slow it down but force the engine more than oem rims. Go no bigger than 16s

Maybe speed is not his concern.

ty for replies.

indeed speed isnt my concern, 160hp is already enough for me, my sol will be a dd.
if i wanna go really fast, i have my bike for it :p
My concern is if i can make those rims legal with my car, and here in portugal, to be able to legalize them, they cant go outside of the car, cant scratch the inside when turning and the speedmeter needs to be above the real speed.

I ran 18" 7.5" 38mm offset rims off a Prelude on My civic until I could get a smaller rim. Can't say for a Sol but I don't see an issue.
