Default del sol rub with 195/70/14 tires... will it with 195/60/14

The person i bought the car from got a discount on 195/70/14 tires. At full steer to the left (only when I park) the inside of the right front tire rubs on the frame. I am on the stock skinny 5 spoke wheels, (not the mini fat fives). I am at stock height. SO... later on when I have the time and money for new tires and rim powder coat ,I WILL GO BACK TO 195/60/14 OR 205/60/14, will I rub? or is something messed up with the frame? planning on a drop in the future.

permission to kick me in the face if i posted this in the wrong forum

the car only pulls slightly to the left on the highway when the tires heat up. it might have only pulled to the left because one of the tires had about a pound more air than the other. But idk if that would matter if I am at full lock to the left. I have only had the since friday. i will get an alignment soon

195/70/14 is too big of a tire for your car.
