Default wheels wont fit anymore.

ok... i lowered my car with tein s-techs. corrected the camber in the rear, spent about 3 hours getting the tires on the wheels that i had last year, put em on the car, drop it down, and the second i back it out, it starts rubbing. the rear is about one finger away from the fender. i allready did the baseball bat trick last year because it was rubbing, and i think just me correcting the camber in the rear was enough to make it rub. i have 17" enkei wheels and 215-40 tires. the front is about a finger away from rubbing but i couldnt really test it out to see if it would. do you people think if i replaced the tires with 205s it would stop rubbing? or should i just sell em and get black "spoon style" wheels?

hopefully ill be able to sell my 17s. but the slipstreams r a lot cheaper also, especially when i end up getting new tires every year.
