Yes the tire will flex, but the strut and hub are fixed, if there is movement between them something is wrong.

Its hard to tell how much fender work may/may not be needed until you adjust in more negative camber.

I am confident I could bolt your front wheel/tire combo on my car with a 3mm spacer and be fine. (I have -2.5 front camber, zero toe, no fender work, and similar ride height to yours)

Either sized spacer will work, but the smaller the spacer the less neg camber is needed.
