Small clearance between front track tyre & coilovers

Hi all, need your urgent advice;
 
I was checking thru the car as I am heading to Wakefield park tomorrow. Had the alignment done 2 weeks ago with aggressive setting and just realized the gap between the front tyre & BC coilovers only approx. 3-5mm. Has anyone had any issue with this sort of clearance on the track? Thanks.

    Not sure about BC's, but I run KW's with about that same clearance on the fronts.
    However my front wheels have absolutely no run-out.
    The manufacturer recommends a minimum of 5 mm, but I have mine slightly less than that to get the right camber.
     
    I would think the most important thing is to be sure the strut bolts are TIGHT.
    Service manual says 188 ft/lbs - long breaker bar needed.

    I have about 3mm clearance also. It is fine because it can only go out not in (maxed out - camber)
