Are coilovers required for clearance up front?

Here is the clearance of a 18x9.5 +40 wheel:
Remember that the spring perch and the wheel are in fixed positions that move together so as long as your tire is not any wider than the edge of the rim you should be fine. The problem is that while the suspension and wheel are pretty rigid, a tire is not. I don't think I would want my tire that close to the spring perch. Your options are get coilovers which give you a ton of extra space or go with a 5 mm spacer in the front. The closest thing you need to worry about rubbing on the inside is the parking brake securing bracket on the rear control arm, but that can easily be bent for more clearance.
