Whats up w/ my front suspension?

Ok so i recently purchased a 89 coupe. The car came with some cheap no-name coilover springs on the front. So i tried mounting stock teardrop wheels w/ 205/60 size tires and the tires rubbed against the spring by alot. I was really suprised by this so i checked the FSM and it said that the stock tire size was 195/60, which made me think that was the reason why the 205/60 tires didnt fit. So i ended up using the original set of wheels that were on the car when i first bought it.

Fast forward to this last weekend. I purchased some advan sa3r wheels. The fronts are 17x7 +32 offset and the tires are 215/45 size tires. Now these tires fit better than the stock teardrops i tried before but they are EXTREMELY close to touching the springs again. Im not entirely sure if it is actually rubbing against it or not because it is THAT close. However, the guy who i bought the wheels from had no clearance problems whatsoever with the same wheels. The wheels dont look cambered at all when mounted.

So im kinda worried that there is something wrong w/ my front suspension. Any ideas as to why? Could it be the cheap coilovers causing the problem? The front is lowered pretty low, but its not tucking in the wheel well or anything.

Any ideas please?

wow.. 205s on teardrops w/ lowering springs have no problems what so ever. i'm curious to see what the coilovers look like. got any pics?

p.s. i'm runnin 205's on a low offset wheel w/ camber in the fronts, and i still have a lot of space.

Oh man, i was afraid to hear that. Ill get pics of the coilover springs tonight. Maybe its due to a faulty suspension install. I guess ill have to take it to a shop and have them look at it. Anyone w/ any more ideas?
