But I would think at with a front wheel with a 50mm offset ( 12mm more clearance that what I had ) you wouldn`t have any issues.??
As of now what is your fender height per side front and rear..?? may be your car might be sitting lower... and if you have pic`s .. post them up .. so I can help you

Are the front spring rates the same? I know on a couple civics I had the higher spring rate had to go on a certain side. Also the overall diameter of a 195/55R15 tire is 23.4 inches and a 205/40R17 is 23.5, according to a plus size guide I have. How is the dia an inch bigger?

??? Wow ...
When I used to run my S-Tech`s on my GD1 .. I barely rubbed... and after I bent the front finder liner plastic tabs I never rubbed again and this was with a 17x7 with a 38mm offset...!?..
... with 205/40/17 for tires
