Wink Bilstein shocks - tyres rubbing

Classic STi V3 - Just fitted a set of 18" Prodrive OZ's with 225/40/18's and the back passenger side tyre is rubbing the coil spring cup on the bilstein rear shocks - very slightly but it is rubbing on the very corner of the tyre - drivers side is ok?? Fronts are fine. Anyone know why one side should be ok - is there any play on the strut mounting bolts that I could adjust. Failing that I'm probably going to remove the rear strut and adjust the spring holder with something heavy.....to give the tyre a couple of mm's clearance. And yes I know the tyres will make my speedo inacurate - or they would if I ever get around to fitting a mph speedo sticker
