If u dont use a spacer u have to run a crazy amount of positive (i think, maybe negative) camber, meaning it will handle dangerously crap.

Front wheels will be like \ /, if u know what i mean

On Coilovers the spring comes down the damper a lot lower than a 'normal' mcpherson strut so the tyre will touch the lower spring. Its true that on the FKs u can adjust it so it doesnt touch, but ur front wheels will be at a strange angle.

U dont have to use a a spacer but if the front wheels are like \ / then theres obviosly less rubber in contact with the road, and if u had stock arches like me they would rub on the wheel arch a lot.

I have et 40 17s with 205/40 Avon ZZ3s and have to use a 5mm spacer to clear the coilover.
