The struts don't hold up the weight of the car they just dampen the bumps and bounce. The coil springs hold up the weight of the car. If the body is rubbing the front tire you could have something bent or a broken coil spring?You will have to really look at the front end of the car and compare both sides of the car to see what looks different.
