I think you will find it has less to do with the shocks (yes, stiffer shocks will help, also shocks suited to the lower setup so the valving is right) as much as the springs, and the shape of the body work under the wheel arch.
If you look up in the rear wheel arch, there is only about 20mm between the lip that you see from outside the car, to an inner lip (its kinds hard to discribe, but obvious when you look at it) that prevents a wide wheel getting too far up indsie the arch.
Even a 185 section tyre does this (you get that when you try to carry 5 scuba tanks in a corolla sedans boot!)
What you would need to do is limit the point at which the suspension will let the wheel move up. Stiffer springs, different bump stops. This will alter the handleing, quite posibly adversly. Rolling the guard will give about that 20mm extra, but thats about it.
Craig.
