96' 850 Tubo wagon ride height

I have been going thru this car the last couple of months getting it mechanically sound for my daugbter. Noticed how low this car rides, seems unusually low for such a car. When she pulled in the driveway today I noticed it had rubbed the inner fender a little and the top of the tire looks almost even with the top of the front fender. Replacing the struts and mounts are on the list next week, anything else I should look at in addition to those? I wonder if someone put some lowering springs on it in the past. Maybe someone could take a measurement from the ground to the top of the front fender for me. Thanks

Look at google images for your car and observe the wheel to fender lip space.

On our 850s, I think that the tires cleared by a couple of inches.

What size wheels and tires do you have?
