Default Lowering 1990 Civic Si with 17" wheels, Enough room?

Ok, here is what I want to do. I have a 1990 Civic Si and I want 17" Konig Imagine Wheels with 205-40-17's(This is the recommended wheel and tire size for OEM height). I want to lower my car using Eibach Sportlines that lower the front 1.5 inches and the rear 1.7 inches. I am going to use the Eibach camber correction kits front and rear. Will these wheels and tires fit along with the lowering of the car or will it rub? This is what I want to do, But I can't seem to find any answers from Eibach or the company that will install the wheels and tires on my car. Do I need to use a 16" wheel instead. I want the largest wheel and tire size available with the Konig Imagine wheels with an offset of 40. If anyone has any info on what I need to do to find the correct answer It would be greatly appreciated.

they will fit yes... but as for rubbing... you might be able to get away with it... if anything you may need some 195's instead of 205's... or you could roll your fenders or cut out some of the inside fender wells... it all depends... every car responds differently
