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!
