Default Tires rubbing on inside of wheel well

I just bought a BB6 can't remember the dimensions of the tires right now but I know it has the stock rims on it. I intend on rolling the fenders in the future but for now that's not where the problem is. Two things I've noticed when I drive it is if I make a sharp right or left the tires rub on the inside of the wheel well, the car is dropped but I'm not sure how far I can't remember what aftermarket adjustable coilovers the guy said were on it but I'm going to raise it up this weekend if I have the time. Also when I hit a dip in the road on 95 going a descent speed I think they hit the top of the wheel well but I'm not 100 percent sure if that's where the noise comes from when I hit dips. Any help is appreciated. Not sure if it's related but during initial acceleration (0 through maybe 10 or 15 MPH) the car shakes a little but I'm thinking it's probably the alignment so I'm going to try to get that done this weekend as well.

One would think, even if one didn't know.

IDN I guess I'll just go with what I said then and raise the car up some and see what happens. @Tattrat yeah my bad on the lack of info I'm at work right now and I figured I could just get some pointers if there were something else I should check other then just the height and tire dimensions. My bad guess I just figured if someone could give advice on something else that might cause it I'd check that this weekend too.

Lets see, adjustable coilovers means RAISE THE FUCKING CAR BACK UP SO IT DRIVES FINE


Or adjustable camber arms to get that mad stanky leg action going on
