With a 3mm spacer (so a total of ET42) I'm pretty sure I have 6mm of space between the sidewall and strut tube, maybe a little more. Here's a crappy picture which may be helpful. Even with that gap, you can see a dark ring toward the top of the tire where it probably had a slight rub while cornering hard.
