I could delete my helper and still preload the spring (without needing a helper) because I have Öhlins which uses an inverted design.

See pic - this will help illustrate. Note that there is a helper in place in this pic. I later deleted which now gives me plenty of room for a 295 in the front.

Do you think the 10.5 with et20 would fit a 285/30-18 up front with KW Clubsports? If not, how about with a 5mm spacer?
Thanks again!

You will most likely need a 5mm or 10mm spacer unless you go to a shorter main spring which is what I have done when I had KW in past
