Post Lowering Spring/Coilovers

Would any type of lowering spring or coilover make my ride height higher? As the wheels rub a little bit. (I'm sure being 6"6' 275 lbs doesn't help lol) They're 17's and it would be a lot more cost effective to get some type of spring then new wheels. I'm not looking to improve handling greatly or anything, just less whell rub
