I don't think so, especially on stock suspension... I bet you'll want to lower it further down the track though.
OP ran 215/40-17 tyres with a 2" drop & only rubbed occasionally. Worst case scenario, you may need to get the guards rolled if you do lower it.

You might even consider getting a 225 series tire because I have 7" wide rims and my 215's are even with the edges of the rim. Just a suggestion, but I know that would probably make rubbing even more of an issue.

Your buying new Rims? thats Awesome. However, do you still have captive rotors in the front? from what I understand, most aftermarket rims wont fit until you swap to a non-captive setup.

He's got a 99 According to his profile, so he's fine
Dangit. All I read was the new member FAQ.

It just makes the distinction between 1st and 2nd gen tibbys.
So in answer to Xtremes question, the years you have to do the swap are 97-98. Any tibby after that should be fine.

Ok, well i think for sure i'm gonna get the Konig Prophets (17 X 7.5). Do you think i would be able to get away with 225/40/17 tires without ANY rubbing. I'm all stock right now (not lowered). Or would it be a better idea to go with the 215/40/17's.
Also any opinions on the rims are welcome!
Heres a better pic.
