Default tire clearance?

hey guys. to start off i did a search but didnt find anything on this topic that would be helpful for me.

i have a ek hatch and i just picked up a set of neuspeed race springs (2.25 drop in the front and 2.0 in the rear), however i have 215/45/16 tires on my rims. everyones telling me its gonna rub big time when i make my turns because of the 215 in combination with the 2.25 drop infront ... what do you guys think? thanks.

i think they will rub quite a bit. 205/40's will do nicely.
