HELP--Front Tire Rubs Fender Lip. Bent Frame?

[speed1972]

Ok, here's the deal. I have 17x9 wheels on my 91 vert. Originally, I put H&R Super Sport Springs on it and I had some rubbing issues. I put a set of coil spring extensions in to lift it up a little bit and I only had issues with big bumps after that. I took the springs out and now I have FMS B springs in, thinking it would raise the car up about an inch and get rid of my rubbing issue. It rubs worse now than it ever has. I also put an extender in the left side. As it sits right now, I have about 1/2 inch clearance on the left side and like 1 1/4 inch on the right. What gives? Is my frame bent? I really don't know what to do and I don't want to spend the money getting the frame checked unless thats definitely the problem.... HELP

It's kinda a given that the droptops are gonna be a little tweaked. Mine is a little, but oh well. And. the 17x9's are a little big for the fox car fender well. My 17x8's are tight, and i run the motorsports b springs also.

i have 17x9s on mine with 245-45 17s on front, caster camber plates with -.05 degree of camber, and it only rubs when i slam on the brakres hard. When the car is sitting, i have NO clearance, the tires tuck nicely into the fender wells. Maybe u need to add camber to you front
