My thoughts on spacers are well known by now so I'll skip this part...

On my car, it's not the lip that that's the problem but the part of the 
steering arm that's *underneath* the lip.  Although I haven't run the numbers 
yet myself, there are those who suggest that removing the steering arm and 
repositioning it on the strut is beneficial to both tire clearance and 
steering geometry.
