I used the boxed end of a combination wrench holding the strut shaft with a 10mm socket, and I guessed at torque. I am going to torque the torx bolts when I install the coilovers this weekend. I am using 18x10 SM-10 wheels with 275/35 RE-71. I can post a pic of the clearance if anyone wants to see it.

Sure, post a pic. Would like to see how much play you have in terms of height adjustability.
