Default Sol tire issues '94

I'm driving a '94 del sol lowered 1.75 front 1.5 rear. Now every time I drive my tires scrap the inside of my tire well. Inside, not outside so rolling my fenders won't help. Every bump I hit, my tires jump up and rub the top of my tire well. Any ideas? What do I do to stop this? Tires right now are 185/60/15 looking to go 175/50/15, but still not sure if it'll make the difference I need. Also considering spacers on my discs to push the tire out and then rolling my fenders. Ideas would be much appreciated, im burning rubber like a drift racer here

Raise the car or get stiffer springs. Simple.

sounds like the shocks are blown and you're on the springs......literally.

kyb gr-2's and a set of decent springs could solve this...as well as removing the 4x4 truck size tires (joking)

seriously put some decent size tires on...195/50/15's or 205/50s 195/55

your current tires are too tall and too skinny
