You can fit nothing more than a sheet of paper between my strut housings and my wheels/tires. As long as your wheel bearings are in good shape, you shouldn't notice the gap change as you lower the car on to its tires. I've never noticed my paint being rubbed off the strut housings after an autocross event on slicks, so I wouldn't anticipate the gap changing in action either.

I suspect you'll be fine. Go for a casual drive, then check the paint on the strut housings. If all is well, go for an aggressive drive, and then check again.
