Yes, that makes perfect sense - good call, and thanks for the insight! Hopefully the 3mm spacer will be enough, but if it's not, I could go with a larger spacer.

Apex advised that a 3mm spacer would be the largest that would still allow fender clearance, but for the same reason that the camber bearing pulls the inside/top of the wheel closer to the strut, it also pulls the outside/top of the wheel farther away from the fender... so I'm thinking a 5mm spacer should still be fine.
