It would help to know how much it's lowered, not just how...

it depends if you wanna stretch them a lil or not, its all about personal preference, for example im planing on running a 215-40 on a 17x9 in the front on my s13.

a 225/45 on a 9 inch rim will be pretty much flush with the lip of the wheel. There will be little if any stretch on the tire and it will certainly not bulge out so you won't have to worry about it effecting suspension clearance.
