Unhappy Wider fenders???

Well, I'd like to think I'll be ok, but I can't shake the feeling I'm going to need wider fenders. At least maybe up front anyway. If I do I'll widen the back too..may as well.
Guess I need to test the fitment on the new wheels.

BIG problem at the moment is the front end is just too damn low.
With two people in the car (I weigh 210) the front tires rub the fenders like CRAZY!!! and I had the misfortune on turning into a drive-way today (my 5' tall mom was in the passenger seat) and the front passender's fender BENT.
so....
Any suggestions? I haven't even put the new wheels on.
Still on 4-1/2" stock steel. The new rims are 15"x6" and I fore-see trouble.
My only thoughts are maybe go with lower profile wheels up front while at the same time raising the top line kit another nocth.
Yes...it's the old adjusta strut kit,. but I DID get the tapered springs.
Can I do it all w/ stock fenders? The back looks do-able, but I'd like to be able to turn my car and drive it fast w/ out worrying about....


SKRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!! GRRRRRAAAACK!! SKREEEEEEEEEE! GRRRRRAAAAAAK!
