Are you using so-called V-brake brake pads like these? [Shimano XT BR-M770 V-Brake Pads (Silver) (1 Pair)] If so, you may want to switch to so-called Cyclocross brake pads (that use normal road refills) like these: [Cross Pro Brake Pads] In my experience of using them on my Atlantis, these will clear the fork blades, provide plenty of braking power, and won't require you to deflate the tire.

The brake opens enough but pad holder his the fork to prevent complete opening of the brake. The brake bolt is long enough that I can move the brake 1/2-3/4 inch from the fork. I would screw a couple of nuts unto the brake bolt to act as spacers. Problem solved. However, I am concerned about the extra torque on the brake bolt due to the additional "leverage" My first thought was that the bolts screwed unto the brake bolt solves the issue.
