Default Springs and Rim size

Currently I'm on Neuspeed Race springs with some 14" rims, but I just bought some 17" rims, will these fit with the race drop or will I have to switch to the Neuspeed Sport springs.

Thanks in advance.

**forgot to mention: 97' EX coupe

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I really like these rims though...
Anyone rocking 17s, what is a comfortable drop? 1.5"?

yeah if you had coilovers you could atleast raise it back up to where your tires will clear... with springs youre just stuck with what you got

depends on tire size and offset. but most likely, you will rub (esp on the inside fender when at full lock)

Put them on, they fit fine, when the car is not moving I can turn the front wheels with no clearance issues... But driving is a whole different story, lol. Only took it around the block, on turns any little bump in the road and they rub... So the stock springs will be going back on for now... BTW the tire size is 205/40, and the offset is 40... I think I may go with the Omni Power coilovers, any suggestions?
