Fast wheel 17x7 rub ?

I got kind-a confuse with all infos people gave me and I need real advice please. I receved a set of Fast wheel F14 Spline 17x7 ET38 but didnt come with tires. 1010 tires and other sites says the optimal size is 215/45/17

But I really wonder if that size will really rub my fenders.

FAst wheel Spline f14 17x7 et38 (offset )
with tires 215/45

I was thinking to buy some Falken - Ziex ZE-912 .

can anybody tell me if this will rub fenders?? if so , what would be the required size for 17inch. 17x7

Civic 2005 Sedan LX EM2

I dont plan to lower my ride at all.

205/45 will ride really rough. i had them before i changed my tires and you felt every bump. but i have 225/45 rite now and they still dont rub and ride much smoother. 215/45s will work just fine.
