Default 08 Buick allure/lacrosse CX tire sizing help

Hey guys first post here, so I needed some new tires due to a hole in the side wall and I found some wheel tire combo on FB marketplace and jumped on the sale without double checking size...

Pretty much I got 18 inch wheels that are 8inch wide and they are running 235 wide tires with 55 on the sidewall, the issue is on the rear it'* hitting the strut.

I'm wondering if anyone knows from experience if it is possible to run 18 inch wheels on the back, maybe if I get a tire size 225/40 and use a spacer maybe just to push it out away from that strut... Anyways sorry for the long winded post any help would be greatly appreciated
