Lifting with a spacer would actually give less clearance because the bottom of the front arch curves back under the center line of the tire. So spacing the strut would move the bottom of the fender upward which would make it closer to the tire.

I did consider making some spacers but found that it wouldn't help.

I did have to modify the oil cooler grille but that is only needed on the 4.8i.

He also has a link to the mods which makes me think there’s more modifications to be had.
