I'm no expert (though my 914 is lowered about as far as you can go), but it looks like to me with stock sport wheels and 205's you have plenty of room to lower it. You'll have to experiment on your own or work with a suspension shop to get it right.

Personally, if I were going to all the trouble of lowering it, I'd go away from the stock wheels and up to 7.0 in width. Working with the offset will be the key to a good lowered package. There are plenty of postings here from people who have worked it out for specific wheel/tire/suspension combos.
