I just installed a new set of h&r's in my car not two days after purchasing brand new Motegi ff7's (17x7's w/ 42mm offset) wrapped in Toyo Proxes fz4's (215 40zr17) and now have a bit of a rubbing problem.....mainly in really hard turns while going over bumps....will the springs settle and become stiffer or what should I do?

could roll the fenders to take care of the outside rubbing. You could also try heating up the wheelwell plastic and forming it out more.

im running 215/35/18 but not lowered. I dont rub. I dont think 205 to 215 will make that much difference. its only .39 inches overall wider, which is only 3/16 wider on each side from the edge of the rim. Is it that our car doesnt have the room for 3/16 with that tire?
