If you ran the set-up as is then it would impossible to keep the car in alignment, because the strut be constantly shifting positions, the constant shifting would also likely damage the coilover causing the hole to slowly expand and worsen the problem. I've never actually heard of a reducing washer being used, just talk of how it would be nice if one existed.
I think your going to need to drill the knuckles out to 16mm or weld a 14mm washer directly to the coilover.

hmm very true, they used to exist i guess lol, just not anymore, i found some 16mm washers at home depot.. figure id weld those like u said and grind it flat, then drill those, id rather do that then drill out the knuckle and get larger crash bolts.. that worries me lol, thanks a lot!

Yeah, I looked for a while hoping to find a set of these infamous washers, but was never able to find them and welding on a washer on seems like the simplest option.
