Or 225/60 16's from Coker but they show they are 26.60 inches tall

Isn't 26.20 the tallest we can go?

When I was running on 225-60's I could detect a "buffing" going on from the spring mount.

On page #21, the 215/55R16 shows 25.2 inches tall just like the factory wanted!

What if i put spacers in the front and a thin tire like 195 ? Maybe that would clear the strut!

Maybe something like a bias ply F78 16? IIRC, F is about 7.35 inches wide. You would be giving up driveability, MPG and longevity.
