I have a 03 MCS. with 17x7 OZ Ultraleggras and 215 /40 BFG KDW 2's. I used to run 45's. I lowerd mine with M7 springs and it rubbed. I went to the 40's and it is perfect. Remember though the M7's lower almost a inch and a half. You can get other springs that only go an inch or so and you might be ok. Or you can go with coilovers and get whatever height you want.

if the clown spokes are 45mm-48mm you should be fine.
