So, I just finished installing 15mm spacers on both the front and rear of the coupe. While not a difficult task it was made difficult by doing it in my garage that has crappy cross ventilation. Upper 80-low 90 temps and 60% humidity was made worse as the garage was probably 15 degrees or more hotter.

So, results? At first I was like "uh oh" when it sounded like it was rubbing when turning corners. I sure didn't want to spend the time in the garage to remove them again. Luckily, it was just the inner fender liner which hangs down a lot near the fender lip. It rubbed down quickly and all was well. The spacers brought the wheels out to the point they look bigger because they fill the opening better.

Yeah, what Timmy said, BC coilovers :)

The ones I put on are 15mm. I may have been able to go 20mm but I'm happy with what I have which is effectively a 28mm offset. Your coupe wheels are 30mm so putting 20mm spacers on would effectively put you at 10mm. Doubt that would work :)
