Question 17 x 9's and stock springs?

I have an 89GT. I put 17x9" Cobra R's with 245/45/17 on the front...
As soon as I put them on I realized I had a problem... almost touches the top of the fender on one side, and clears a little better on the other.
Soooo... I figure out that it has a 91-93 fender on one side- great! So I order another one to help clearance...

My question is, why does neither side fit "Good"? Even the side that rubs less is still pretty bad. I do have drag shocks (90/10) on the front... is that the problem? Also, I don't think the ugly old black springs are stock- will 4cyl springs make my car sit that low in the front? I wonder if they are 4 cyl springs- the previous owner drag raced it. I have been told by many people that 17 X 9's will fit the stock set up... True? Thanks!!!
