The reason I'm opting for a 7.5-8mm spacer is because I've created a bit more clearance inside by installing a shorter coil spring which allows the perch to raise high enough to help (as pictured). Without the shorter spring on my setup, the tire would be much closer to the perch.

I see what you mean, basically it’s not just the strut, but also the spring perch clearance that comes into play with the wider tire. I think i might buy 3mm and 5mm spacers when I get the wheels and then go from there.

Im trying to keep the tire away from the fender as much as posible, worse case I’ll roll them a little. Thanks for the help. Btw, I love the color contrast between the yellow calipers and the black paint.
