Question Lowering my 2015 F56 w/ Godspeed

I'm currently installing Godspeed Mono SS coilovers to my 2015 Mini Cooper S. I have 17x8 +45 Konig Rennforms all the way around. I got the front coils installed and upon putting the wheel back on we notice that the wheel hits the spring. I have some 25mm spacers arriving today to go all around and I only plan to drop the car about 2" to get rid of the wheel gap. Do you think 25 mm is going to be too much in the front? If so, what size would you recommend? 1/4" or 1/2"?

Is it the tire or the wheel hitting the coils? What is your tire size? 25mm is just about a full inch of spacer. Do you have clearance to the fender to fit that much? More camber will be needed if not. Too many variables to give you a straight answer.

Hey man! I have 215/45 R17 on it right now. I believe it's the tire hitting. Once these spacers get in I'm going to try to put the wheel on and drop it down to see how everything fits and if there is any rubbing. If so I'm going to have to go get some smaller spacers. One think I hate about mini coopers is that you can't roll the fenders...
