2012 impala LTZ

So I recently replaced my suspension on my 12 impala .

front lower control arms

front inner / outer tie rods

front/ rear struts

rear sway bar links

the tires are on 18 rims and the first set of struts were 16 , well got another set (universal 17) allegedly

the issue I seem to keep facing is the inside of my tire scrubbing the spring plate, I cannot seem to find 18 assembled struts.

nor can I afford to go get another set .

is there anyway I can put some space between my tire and spring plate . what other part could be needed to fix this or what else could be causing this to happen?

my alignment didn’t fix anything but it was the wrong size strut

well my sway link bolt busted on pass side upon replacement of the strut,

haven’t gotten another alignment because I tried to get the caster and camber as it was after my alignment but I’m not sure what else to do and evidently my pockets are not that deep. SAHM LOL
