On M perf suspension you will be 1/2" higher compared to H&R sport, plus you should have less body roll, so I can't see that rubbing.

I've not used spacers on the front, but would be reasonably confident 12mm will work.

Of course we're talking mm's here, so obviously the tire and its sidewall play a big role.
Done, you've made a good argument, I'll order tonight...
