Yes sir, daily driven in the warmer months. With 3-way adj dampers I can run a nice soft street setting, and crank it tight for track when needed.
The logic behind running a 7.5mm or 8mm spacer is to gain a bit or clearance to the fender which will net me .5* positive camber gain which keeps the DD tire wear down. Currently running -3.0* the way you see it.
It only rubs on large "highway dips", something that would fully compress & shock the suspension abruptly. I maybe hear this once or twice per week, never experienced it on track etc and it's essentially hitting a section of the plastic liner which I decided against trimming. Taking the natural selection route on that one

Hi Tom, yes it's to clear the lower spring perch. I have installed a shorter spring, so it sits slightly above tire height, now, but with that I can now go down to a 7-8mm spacer which will allow me to dial back a bit of neg camber to get better wear for DD'ing.
Next is the 9.5" et43 to try up front. It's what I have out back, so I can start to test fitment before going ahead with the square config. I would run 255 square on the 9.5" wheels in this case, if it works out. 265 w/ 9.5 would be very tight, imo
