if you take the springs out so you can move the susp thru its full travel, with out it hitting anything. Then there shouldnt be an issue.
As bogged said most seem to do 12-15mm.

Check how much thread you have left at the chassis end of the radius arm with the 20mm spacers. I could only fit 15mm spacers before I ran out of thread but they are not standard arms.
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

I could only fit 11mm spacers safely to my standard arms before running out of thread.
