Therefore your problem is that your wheels don't fit. The correct fix for that is to get wheels that do fit.

Incorrect solutions are to stiffen the springs to reduce suspension travel or to alter alignment to eliminate rubbing on the fender but introduce other issues.

However, this all assumes that you value driving dynamics more than an aesthetic called "stance" that is a caricature of performance. I could be wrong there. In which case - spring rubbers all the way. Cheaper than new springs and they will have the same net effect.
