My previous damper setup, which used 60 mm ID main springs, still had ~0.15" of clearance.

The AD08 has a very square shoulder so I wonder if it's the shoulder that's causing you're clearance issue with a 9.5et22 wheel? The V3's use a stock-style (tapered) front spring, correct? Your clearance issue is between the damper body, not the lower spring mount/collar?
its the colar, and I just purchased a 5mm spacer to try and hopefully it will take care of it
