Default Need help with my 225/17/45 new tyres

Hello guys, I have a 1997 - 3dr honda civic. Today i put on it 17 inch alloys, the front tyres are 205/17/40 and the rear are 225/17/45. The rear ones while going left or right seem to touch either the body or the shock, couldnt see it. Is there a remedy to it or should i downgrade to 215/17/45(40). Or install a spacer. Need some expert opinion on here please...
Many thanks

Both of those sizes are too large. The proper sized would be 205/40-17.

225 is kind of too big and 17"
i personally think 15 and 16" look the best on civics
im running 2000 si oem rims with 195/50ZR/15 tires.
in case london does not have 2000si model
here is a pic of the rims.
