[Healeys] What's the rub? tire rub Healey

Shocks don't set ride height ... springs do.

I just recently got my BT7 Healey back on the road. The tires I selected are 
Vredstein 185 x 70 x 15". A very aggressive tire tread and quite stout. The 
trouble arises when I drive it. If I hit a bump, I get tire rub on the inside 
of the front fenders. I know several solutions would be, buy a set of 165 or 
175 x70 x15 In short down size. Another would be to increase the body height 
by 1" inch or 2" by adding what? Shock absorbers, add a leaf to rear , redo 
the entire system and raise the body with new more modern shocks. Is there any 
way of adjusting the front British standard shocks?
