I bought H&R springs and dont know what to do after puting them on I heard that I would need to wait two weeks before geting an alighnment, I bought focal F5 rims and I dont want to put them on untill I am sure that the alighnment is good to go because those 225/45zr17 tires are soft and expensive so should I wait a week or two or just get the alighnment asap and put on the rims as soon as I get the alighnment or should I wait a little bit? do the spring need time to settle or something?

yeah i would put the rims on and get the alignment, because it would make no sense to get it with the old rims and tires

wait a month if yu have any doubts as if the springs will settle any. It should not hurt the tires especially if you rotate your tires as required. Two things though get affected when dropping the car which is toe and camber. Unless you do a modification camber will not get adjusted which will wear out the inner portion of your tires quicker than the outer unless corrected.
