Turns out maximum fender gap is 12mm front and rear. For those experts out there, should I then go w/ a 10mm spacer (as I'm thinking going w/ 12 mm would mean it would be right on w/ the fender and still hit, or does the suspension compress into the car, and a 12mm spacer would still clear???).
Would appreciate any insight from those that have done this before. Thanks.

You could probably fit a 15mm spacer as the wheel will naturally camber (I measured too). But fotios335i has a good point about the longer hub lip.
