Big fat tyres will be closer to the strut.
I have Gaz golds, 8x17 et32, 235/40 tyres; and they fouled the spring platform on the coilovers.
What i ended up doing was buying shorter 6" springs so the spring and pkatform is above the tyre. And clearance is ok to the actual strut part.
Not sure if this helps you out !!!
I am running 17" RS7 spokes on my car. 7.5J et35 iirc. How much did the springs set you back out of interest?

That sounds like a better option than going for cossie hubs and brakes (£££), did you have to have them custom ordered by GAZ?
