What wheels/size did you get?
18x9.5 +45 is a little tight in the front. Check for clearance at the suspension and also with the steering wheel locked in one direction and see if it is close to the sway bar or tie rods.

Whenever I can finally get my car lifted I'll check. I don't hear or feel anything different when driving. I fully locked the wheels each direction and all that. I've heard it's not safe to go under the car with the jack that comes in our trunk so I haven't went under the car to see.

@Kendallkab it isn't safe with any jack. And you need to check the clearance when the car is on the ground. Check by recording a video with your phone and stick your hand under there.

I have to wait 2 weeks before I can do that. I'm going to be in the field sadly but I will do that. Is it hard to find a place that can do a proper alignment on a lowerd car with coilovers.
