    Where abouts are you? NSW?
    If so, 18's are legal.

    Ways to fix the issue you've got...
    Get coil overs,
    Get air struts for the fronts,
    (Maybe) fit VN/VP front struts, (or VR/VS if thy're the same?)

    Or grab a lumpy ass hammer, and tap said spring saddle upwards, til it clears your tyre

    Or get smaller profile tyres. I put brand new tyres on my 18's a few years ago and they didn't scrub on the front of my VB one bit.
