Your question begs some questions.... I'm sure you mean largest diameter tire.

Assuming you've got 'stock' suspension when you say "hit the strut and coils", you're referring to the underside of the spring plates the coils sit on, right? It's hard to say for one thing because one side may squeeze in there and the other not. I've had 17" rims with just slightly too tall a tire (Victoracers)and it worked on the right, but not the left. I was able to 'mitigate' the rub by putting on 7mm spacers and with the angle of the strut to the hub/bearing carrier, it just cleared - luckily.

If it rubs underneath, you may be able to 'shave' the tires about 4/32 or 1/8" - they'll perform slightly better too.

25.5" might work.

good luck,
