70's actually sat slightly lower, than 77's. The 68-72 Corvettes used solid body mounts, while 73-82 used rubber cushions, that raise the body some.
Where exactly is it rubbing? In your first post you say it's the "back of the tire", but your most recent one says the tire is rubbing on the "lower part of the fender"?
