Do you have 5mm clearance from the strut tube, or the collar? I wouldn't be concerned with a little rubbing on the tube, but that collar could shred rubber.

On the photo you can see that there is rubber on the strut. That means not enough space.
And if you don't tell us some dimensions of the tyre and rim and how much you lowered the car everything is just blabla.

The rubber was from a previous tire letting go after a tread puncture (had about 2" strut clearance on those tires).
Wheels are 18x10 ET65 with 23mm spacer.
Tires are 265/35 18
Rear ride height is 26.25" fender to ground, 14" fender to hub center.
Front ride height is 26" fender to ground, 13.5" fender to hub center.
Spacing between spring collar and tire is 1/2". Spacing to the tube would be more if I raise the collars up & out of the way.

when I was running Carrera lights (18) and ksports, I had to use 5mm spacers if that helps any.

Thanks, Randall. Do you know what your ride height was? What tire size were you running.
