Which coilovers require spacers for clearance?

I'm going to be running 19x8.5 +35 in the front for the summer, and I really would like to buy some coilovers, but a lot of them seem to have helper springs.

Which coilover brands require spacers for clearance with that wheel offset and which do not?

I know my OEM 17x8 +34 winter wheels will clear, but my 19x8.5 +35 will give me 7mm less clearance, so I'm also wondering what you guys have done, 3mm or 5mm spacers if your coilovers have helper springs.

Thanks in advance for your help, as this may help me decide which coilover or which width of spacer to buy.
