Just installed a brand new set of sticky Mickeys on the 01 GT. The car has SrR performance lowering springs from American Muscle and they are rubbing with every little pebble I hit, LOL. And I hid the fenders rolled. Only have 1.5 in clearance from tire to fender. Don't have the budget for coilovers yet so I'm wondering what should I do next??
If I install Stock Springs, the spring rate for the SR performance lowering springs are higher than those stock Springs so I might still have the same problem.
Please help!

I assume you're talking about the rears. At this point I don't think there is much you can do short of getting rid of the tires. The only thing I can think of would be adjustable lower control arms. You might be able to raise the rear enough to clear the tires. Not sure though.

Is it rubbing on inside shock or outside lip? If inside shock remove the inside shock. You’ll be ok with just the one on each side. If ok lip of fender offset spacers might help...‍
