Default question about lowerin car and tire size

Okay... this isn't really the place to ask this question I'm sure, but to me this section of the forum was most helpful the last time. I have 17 inch rims with 205/50ZR-17 Kumho ECSTA SPT on a 1998 Honda Accord sedan with stock suspension. It's the 2.3L too in case anyone gets into technical questions lol. My question is: How low can I lower it with those tires and not rub or anything? I'm not going for slammed, I just hate the 4 wheel drive look that I'm sporting with that big gap between the fenders and the top of the tire. Thanks in advance! Matt
