Default 18" Alloys catching as go round tight corners

OK Guys anyone got a quick fix for this problem other than sell me wheels.

I just fitted some new 18" with 225/40ZR18 88W and when I take tight bends or bumps they catch... any one got a quick fix?

stiffen up the suspension and change the tyres for 215/35/18 any good brand like toyo t1r or s, yokohama prada spec 2's, or goodyear eagle F1s

Put 17"s back on, you're only making it worse by going bigger.... Unless the brakes need 18"s to clear.... Didn't think so !

Wheel spacers? Won't this fix the problem?
