I assume the tyre is hitting the base of the spring perch?
You either have to go to a lower profile tyre or increase the rim offset to allow clearance.
Going +1 in rim diam. requires using a lower profile tyre to maintain the stock overall tyre diameter, in which case the rim offset may be the only way to fix the issue.

Maybe, but I understand wheel spacers are not permitted, in S.A. at least :(
