Gap between the top of the tyre and my koni's

surely the gap would only matter if you use the car on the road No ? rubbing is fine because it never actually leaves the garage 
sunday anti freeze and K&N please feel free to fit and maybe wash n polish I will be home about 5
im excited about national day

Both my escorts have only ever had about 4mm gap between tyre and shock base.
imo it will be fine like that, as long as you dont bend one of the koni's like i did.
or failing that, fit coilovers and do away with the worry!!
