Whats up w/ my front suspension?

[hayai_240]

I posted this same question in the brakes & suspension area but thought i might get some more help over here too.

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?

get higher offset wheels or some wheel spacers, done.

Get wheel spacers or some other not-no-name-brand suspension
