Quarter inch spacer will do it mate, jus b careful ur wheel nuts, quarter inch is 3turns of thread u lose
What wheels you running? Its the wheel width/offset thats the problem usually, vauxhall offset "pulls" the wheel into the coilovers.

are they just catching when the car is jacked up? as mine do but as soon as its bk on the ground there fine.
Are they the GHA coilovers, 1.9" springs? That's surprising as I've had Cesaros and another similar fitting wheel with 195/45R15 on mine with plenty of clearance, not heard of anyone else having problems on these too.
yeah Iain i think they are 1.9 springs, i think it because of the 185/55 profile ballooning out

Mine is currently sat on Astra GTE alloys with 195/60/14's and the rears rub. My 15's are fine. Close, but fine lol
What wheels are you on?
I tested mine with 195/60's with Cesaros and had no issue?
