thank you, i've been looking for a 17 inch setup every since i've had an m3.
While we have not had the ability to test a car with KW V3 coilovers on the e9x M3, we do know that the overall diameter between the 275/40/17 and 275/35/18 tires is within 0.1", so because the 18x10" ET25 in 275/35/18 sized tires requires a 5mm spacer to clear the progressive V-shaped springs, we think it's safe to believe that the 17x10" ET25 in 275/40/17 tires would also need a 5mm spacer.
