Question need best tire size for Civic

I have a 2003 Civic and I am going to be dropping it about 1.5 to 2.0 in. and putting on 17x7 wheels with 40-45 offset. So I was wondering if somebody could help me and let me know which is the best size tire for me so I will not rub when cornering. I am debating between 205/40/17 or 215/40 or 45/17.

I think you will want to go with 205/40/17s. My 2000 is lowered 2.25f/2.0 rear and these fit good on mine and don't rub. Not sure how much different the latest gen civic is though but maybe it'll give you an idea

Well what are the stock tire sizes on your car? That would help.

So you could upgrade to 195/60x15" and 205/50x16" and lastly 215/40x17" but I'm not sure that last size would fit in the wheel wells.
