Default Fender, Rim, Tire & Rubbing question

I'm using '93 Cobra rims with 245/45/17's on my 89GT Cobra clone. I installed Ford Racing Springs, Koni struts and Steeda caster/camber plates up front and got the alignment done. The guy at the alignment shop said he did all he could so that the tire wouldn't rub. Now the only time it rubs is if I hit a bump at a decent speed. My question is if I get '91-'93 inner and outer fenders with the larger opening, would this definitely solve my problem? Oh, and in case you are wondering, I'm using the correct '93 Cobra front rotors.

Default Re: Fender, Rim, Tire & Rubbing question

does it only rub when your turning the car going over the bumps? I have a 89GT with 245-45-17's on cobra R wheels, and i have 1.5" lowering springs. Mine has slight rubbing only on turns over bumps. It's fine when your going strait though. you need extra C clip spaers in the Power steering rack so your tires dont hit the A-arms. I know the ford racing springs don't drop the car as much as the BBK ones I have, I can't believe yours is rubbing. Try taking out the top fender screws, if that doesnt work, youll have to roll the fenders a tiny bit. Finnally your going to have to live with it and learn to drive it, or put spacers in the springs or change the springs. I still can't belive the ford springs are making them rub!
