KW V2 Coilovers + Spacers
So I just installed my TSW KW v2 coilovers this weekend, and while I am still dialing in the ride height...I'm not going to go super low, probably in the ballpark of a 1.5" drop...but I am getting some rubbing already. So it looks like I am going to need some spacers.
I'm running R111 Black Star Bullets (7x17 et48) wrapped in 215/45R17 Continental ExtremeContact DWs (and my winter setup is R84 XLites (6.5x16 et48) in 205/50R16 Michelin X-Ice Xi3s.
My question, to those running similar setups...am I going to be able to get away with an 8mm spacer? Or Will I need to bump up to 12 or 15mm spacers?

Yeah, I suppose I should have mentioned where I was rubbing...I was posting at 2:30am, gimme a break. Lol.
The inside wall/shoulder of the front tires are rubbing on the coilovers. I've read that ~4mm distance is acceptable there, so I imagine I need more than a 5mm spacer. Since I won't be "slamming" her all the way down, I was thinking 8mm should be good.

Also, with the 10mm spacer, how much room did you have between the coilover and the tire?

Your ride height won't effect rubbing on the shock body. You need try to space the wheel out and see how much it takes to get it not to touch. Then we can get you the right spacers as every wheel and tire combo is different so there is no cookie cutter size for it.
