tyre rubbing on 156

just upgraded from 15's to 215/45/17

thing is i am getting a slight bit of tyre rubbing in the front arches.

i have totally standard (non-SP) suspension so they seem to have plenty of room (and plenty have bigger wheels on lower cars)

at full lock when idle there is a slight rub, this is more pronounced when going over ramps or making tight turns on the move.

the rubbing is clearly heard from the cabin, but not scary loud.

should i be concerned?
can i do anything?
and would lowering make it worse? ( seems obvious but just checking)
