I don't have a body kit and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon so I was wondering if there was some other issue that might make coilovers preferable to regular springs in snowy conditions.

Well the main reason people may have wanted to haev the coilvers is because if snow happens to come then you can aise the car back up to stock height within about 10 minutes or so. Some people feel safer and more comfortable at that height when conditions are bad. That is just their personal opinoin.
As far as the chains having enough room you have to figure it this way, inside the fender goes up higher than you will see from the outside, this gives you enough room to run the cables without having too many issues or any at all. I mean they are not going to be moer than 3 inches thick right? That is about how much room you will have in there. Also if your using a stock sized tire, which during the winter I would assume yes, then there should really be no clearence issues.
