The correct answer has already been provided, why won't you listen? The tyre is hitting the spring seat because the tyres are way too big for a VL Factory VL tyre size 205/65R15 = 25.49" overall diameter Factory VE tyre size 225/60R16 = 26.62" overall diameter 225/55R16 would be the correct size for a VL (25.74")
