need some suspension help - NOT rx7 - In Fort Wayne, IN

I was reffered here by a friend on another forum - said you RX7 elites may be able to help me

I want to put springs on my car to lower it about 2 inches-BUT i already hit the outter side of my fenders when i hit bumps. My wheels / tires do not go in my wheel wells....

Any suggestions how to fix this? Im really DUMB when it comes to suspension work and would love to have some actual HELP doing it

I was wondering if i would need to ROLL the fenders? or .... ?

Thank you in advance - heres a picture of how it stands now

widebody fenders or different offset wheels so they fit in farther

these wheels came with the car... is there normally stamping on the backs of them that would tell the offset?

Hell, i never even checked if there is spacers back there i could take off or narrow down~

I plan on painting my calipers this weekend... guess i need to do some research on the wheels
