Yes. They're too big in diameter (about 2.7 percent larger than stock) and they will probably rub on the wheel wells or fenders, especially on a lowered car.
205/45-16 is actually slightly smaller in diameter than stock (roughly 0.8 percent) and shouldn't rub.
General rule of thumb to avoid rubbing: don't get tires wider than 20 mm wider than stock (those aren't), and don't get tires whose outer diameter is more than 1 percent larger than stock (those are).
