stepper motors and drivers compination

$

Hello,
I'm ordering the parts to build my first prusa and since I haven't played with stepper motors before I need some help.
I found these motors on ebay which have above the recommended torque of 40Ncm.
Could I drive them with these A4988 StepStick drivers?
The drivers support up to 1A maximum current but the motors' rated current is 1.7A.
What problems could I have with this combination? Limiting the output current using the potentiometer on the drivers to ~1A could be a fix or it will just reduce the maximum torque creating more troubles?
Should I choose other drivers and/or other motors?
Thank you
