I didn't have that generation of Civic, and I don't even have my older one any more. What I would do is go out with a ruler/tape measure and check.

Sit on / bounce the car at each corner and note the minimum clearance between body and tire. Do the same with the wheel turned all the way, then the opposite way, especially checking the inside tire-to-suspension clearance.

I have my doubts the bigger tires AND lowered suspension would work, but probably one or the other will be fine.
