IE Ireland Engineering Fixed camber plates Question

So, I have about 5mm of clearance between my front struts, and my tires. If I install the fixed IE camber plates, will this distance increase, decrease, or stay the same.

My thought is that because the top is moving toward the engine, then the distance would increase, but I just want to be sure before I buy them, AGAIN.

There will be no change with camber plates. That gap is determined by tire width and wheel offset.

meaning that the angle of the tire and the strut remains constant in relation to each other. As you move the strut in with the fixed camber plate, the tire/wheel will move the same amount of deflection. So like k-huevo stated, no change.
