Project Kics 3mm Spacers
 
Tried searching, couldn't find much info.

So, some quick backstory here, I recently purchased 17x9+35 wheels and 245/40 tires. They fit really well, apart from some slight rubbing on the front spring.

My suspension set-up: Stock struts with Tein S-Tech springs, SPC LCAs and camber bolts and SilverProject top hats. I currently have camber right around -2.5 up front and -2 in the rear.

Ideally, I don't want to have to get another alignment if I can get away with using a 3mm slip on spacer. What I want to know is, has anyone used a small spacer before and had any ill effects? With the price of the spacer, it's a lot less than getting an alignment, but if it's going to be detrimental, I'll do the alignment.

I guess the other option is to dial back the camber a bit, but again, rather not do that if I don't have to

You should be totally fine with a 3mm spacer. You'll only run into problems if you use gigantic spacers... but that's another story.

PM @CounterSpace Garage for spacers.

Been using these in front for a few years with no issues:

Ended up going with the Kics.
@CSG Mike couldn't justify buying from an American company when I found what I wanted from a Canadian company at an extremely competitive price. Plus this way I know that I won't get hit with extra fees on delivery

If you ever need spacers again, look up Novustech. They're a local company (based out of the Kitchener area).

You'll be fine with a 3mm spacer, the only other option would be to back off the camber at the knuckle and add more at the top mount.

Top mount is maxed out, same with the camber bolt. Depending on clearance with the spacer, I may just go back to the OEM bolt instead of the camber bolt.

Just checked out Novustech real quick, they only go down to 5mm. I probably could have went with something custom from them, but I'd like for it to not start costing a lot of money
