KW v2 Coilovers

Just a quick one (please ignore my premature Signature ):-

Does anyone know if the KW V2 Coilovers require front wheelspacers with the OEM 17" S-Spokes and 215/40/17 tyres?

I don't think they do, but just checking...

I had V1's before and now KW's Competition 2 Ways, while I've never had any 215/40/17's, I've had a number of 15 & 16" tires on wide wheels and taken a lot of measurements. I see no way you will have a problem with OEM 17's and no spacers.
