17" on w202 c 230 will this work

on my 1998 c230 I just installed new 17 " rims with new 225/45/17 toyo tires , the tires were rubbing on the inside front plastic cover when I went backwards with the steering wheel all the way on the left or right, i pushed the plastic forward and the tires are not rubbing any more (or at least I can't hear it), now i have the H&R springs but I am afraid to install them because I am not sure if that will work, I mean the tires were rubbing with the regular springs , maybe the tire size is too big (225/45/17)
anyone tryed that before , or any suggestions
any help would be appriciated
thanks
