Hi I have searched, but couldn't find a def answer..
So I am running bbs fir front 9.5 et 22 with 265/35/19
It seems front is rubbing the suspension spring perch(kw has) currently I have 5mm on but I would like to remove the spacers, looks too aggressive and I don't like sticking out look..
What coilovers gives the most clearance for my situation?
Thank you advance!

I have had both Ohlins and Nitron coilovers on my F80, and they both used a 65mm diameter spring for maximum clearance.

You’d have more clearance with either a 60 mm dia or 2.25” dia spring (the most clearance), not a 65 mm dia spring.

Do you have the KW HAS V1? Golden perch instead of black?

You’re correct. I had forgotten some used 2.25”.
