Question Help Wheel Rub & Squeaking!

I have searched many times on this site to find the answers to the problems I am having with my car since I lowered it. I have a 2002 ES, and I dropped it on Progress Springs. The springs dumped my car in the rear and I had to install the stock springs again. I am experiencing a terrible sqeuaking sound in the rear and it did not matter which springs were installed Progress/Stock. I am positive it is not the springs themselves (Spring insulator won't help), but something else. If anyone could help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. I thought it may be the Control Arms, but I could be wrong.
Secondly one of my biggest worries is that my front tires scrape the inside of my wheel well when I turn. It is not scraping the top, but the inside of the well on turns.

I have installed a strut bar, rear anti-sway bar, autocross perches, and have had 2 alignments, so please do not suggest any of these options because I have heard them a million times.

Any information would be greatly appreciated, especially on how to stop the scraping. Thank You!

Do you think if I need my rear control arms replaced, Mistubishi will cover it under warranty?

I have 195/60/15 tires on the car now, and my 17's for the summer are 205/40/17.

Called up Mitsubishi before, they have to examine the car, but I hope they won't give me any problems now that I have the rear stock springs installed again.

So any information on that tire size? Is it too big for a lowered car?

Sorry bro, I am just going a little nuts considering no one can seem to fix this problem and I have spent well over a $1500 on my suspension and trying to get it fixed and I don't even have a nice set up.
