I ran 16x7 wheels with 205/55-16s on my '86 notchback, which of course has the same hindquarters as a convertible. No rubbing, no problems, even with super-low Jamex shocks. Did 50,000 miles that way... I'd also tried a set of 17x7 ICWs with 205/45-17s... no problems, but I didn't care for the ride.
I know of at least three lowered convertibles running Super Aero wheels. I'm sure they've all got 205/50-16s. I plan on doing the same on my '92 at some point.
I think you'd be okay with 215/45-17, but you're gonna have to play with the wheel offset quite a bit. I think with something around 35-37 you'd be okay, but don't quote me on that. Might wanna get a used tire mounted up to check clearance, first.
