Specs...
TR Motorsport MT 1 wheels
Front: 18" x 8.5" ET 44
Rear: 18" x 8.5" ET 44

Tires:
235/40/18 direzza zII all four corners.
direzzas seem to run a little wider and it is flush with the rim.

Suspension:
KW V1 lowered to about half way down. No camber plates.
With stock tires and oem wheels it doesn't rub.

Dilemma:
When I put the front wheels on and turn the wheels to full lock, the edge of the tire and rim are right on the shock itself where the coilover threads end. Maybe 1mm away but there are signs of rubbing on bottom of the spring( the purple ring that you can use to adjust the height of the coilover). Not really sure what that's called...

This setup will only be used on the track. Is it possible to obtain a good minamlly rubbing setup for the track with those specs?
Please provide your knowledge and expertise in the situation. Should I get a 3mm spacer? But it may then rub the fender? Raise the height of the coilover? Will camber help if I just pull the pin?...

Thank you!
