New Rear Coil springs (85 300D) ride way too high, will new tires wear incorrectly?

I changed out my Rear Coil springs on my 85 300D and a year later, they still have not "settled". I even had a heavy jack and transmission in there a couple of weeks. My guess is the springs aren't going to settle or are just the wrong one's.

The rear looks High and knock kneed. Will my rear tires wear incorrectly? Meanwhile my cars rear looks like a Muscle car, and the tires bow outwards (looking coltish) corresponding to the excessive curvature of these springs(which are Lemforder by the way)

I am going to change out these springs to my old one's ASAP!

Meanwhile, my wife surprised me by buying 4 new tires . This car is my daily driver now! Any advice....will the rear springs being out of spec ( i.e too high and strong, causing outward bow of rear tires) ruin my new expensive tires...
