205/40/17's = how much can I lower?

I have a 86 GXL and I am probably getting 205/40/17's on my car.(right now stock wheels(205/60/15) and suspension) I also want to lower my car(coilovers) and get a bodykit/spoiler. Would 2 inches cause rubbing?

thats gonna be a harsh *** ride with just 205/40's...i have 215/45's on mine and its still harsh but not too bad. you should go with a slightly larger sidewall. but thats just my opinion if you just ahve 205/40's you should be able to drop it 2 inches...
