Thought I'd provide a quick fitment check for everybody for clearance to the front strut at slightly-below-ZCP collar height (lower spring perch/adjuster collar level with the sidewall, basically)

275/30-19 Michelin PS4S on a 9.5" ET23 (220M) - fits no problem, about a finger's thickness of room

285/40-17 Conti ECS on a 10" ET25 (Apex 17x10 Arc8) - Fits (but basically zero clearance) plenty of clearance with a 5mm spacer

I'll update as a I know more. Most 275 street tires will be no problem on a 10" ET25 at this ride height, but anything more than that will probably need a small spacer to leave room for things to deflect when loaded. I think 285/30-18 would probably work too because it's so much shorter but I haven't checked yet. A tire that runs wide like the AD08 might pose some problems too.

So, similar to some of the other coilover strut setups in this regard.
