every model is different. and when you throw in bigger/wider wheels and tires, it changes everything too. you have not posted enough information for anyone to make an accurate speculation.

I think 2inches should be fine but I would have to see your car to see how much of a gap you have.

I had a 96 Accord which I loved and still miss but anyways back to subject. I had 17's with 215 50 17's and I had Eibach sportlines which were 1.8 front 1.7 rear before settling and I had no rubbing. I hope this helps.
