Sapphire rs max tyre sizes

Ive fitted 8x17 Comp's shod with 215 40 17 Yoko Paradas, really like them but catch on the front when driving on a sh#t road ( which most are these days!), any suggestions? Smaller profile or coilovers?

Any photos of your car side on Matt? Toying with going to the tyre profile you have, but i've never seen them on a car.
