What do you think will happen with my clearence issue? Will it be closer to the tower? Will I have to get larger spacers?

Thanks for the help,

With only 2mm clearance between rim/strut, you may get more tire flex that that on hard cornering. It may or may not be enough rub to damage the tire, but it will put sufficient heat into the shock to effect it's performance.
I mention this for your safety and the possibility of handling "coming and going."
