Default front right tire rubs after coilover install...

I have chrome GS wheels on the car, 17". After installing the coilovers, when Im clost to full tilt turning left, the right front tire rubs like hell. Im not sure what its rubbing even after looking at it, I assume I just raise up the front end a bit but other cars are a lot lower than mine and dont post about having similar problems. Ideas?

its really not that low...

Im not sure if that is what happened to me when i first had my coil overs real low what is rubbing is the tire on the fender. Whenever I made a sharp turn it would rub and if I turned sharply at a high speed, so I just raised it up an inch and it stopped, so now there is a bout a 1 finger gap between my fender and wheel. If that is the problem iff put your hand under the fender of the tire (on top of the tire) that is rubbing youll be able to feel where your tire is eating up your fender.
