Suspension?

I just installed new 16" Enkei wheels with Hankook 205/55/16's on my 92 GT. My springs are extremely close to the tires and when I get on a really wavy road the springs rub the tires. Do I need new struts, springs, or what.

I dont see how they could rub unless you didnt install the springs properly (but you would have known this prior to getting new rims)

Or not even mounted straight.
How do you know it rub the tire? You heard rubbing sound? Put white chalk on tire side wall, both inside and outside. Go for a drive and see where the chalk end up on. Chance is you're rubing on the fender or plastic covering the wheel well.

The back springs sit less than an inch above the tires. The front's a little more. They are stock springs so they must be installed properly. It is not in my head, I can see the rub marks.

Your struts might be gone, cause that would be alot of body roll for the springs to touch. I have 225 50 17 and mine dont touch, but it does bottom out when i have 3 average size people in the back.
Go to the back of your car and push down on each side to se if the back of the car kinda dances when u let go.
