Safe minimum clearance between coilover/tire...I'm at 5mm

[sean350z]

I'm fitting RPF1's 17x9 +22 with 255/40/17 NT01s to the front of my S14 and I have exactly 5mm between the upper coilover collar and widest part of the tire. I think it should be fine but I'm wondering what others think...

go drive around, if it rubs, then add a spacer.

cornering forces will distort the tires and deflect the bushings to a point where the tire may rub. Put some tire chalk on the coilover and take a ride. If the mark had rubbed then you could put a small spacer on the hub. good luck!
