those are what i have. Ride quality will suffer, but overall size-wise they're pretty good, maybe jsut a little bit bigger than stock but barely noticable at all, and with a drop you definitley wont be able to tell. Check my gallery to see some of them on my 99.

205-40-17 is the recommended size. I have them and no rubbing issues with a 1.5 inch drop. Ground controls will lower you up to 4 inches so if you go too low, it will rub.

205/40R17 is the right size.... for a 92-00 civic.

17's on an EF, yikes. those are way huge. I don't know if you can even fit those under there. what size wheels/tires are on the car in your avatar?
