Yeah, kudos to Mackin for setting you up with offset A front wheels that will clear a BBK. I very well may go with the same setup, sorry, well at least I live in Texas. I don't think you will be able to put a BBK on the rear though, those are offset C, which typically won't clear a BBK.
Anyway, interesting information, thanks....

Lowering may actually help because of the negative camber it adds (say Z springs or similar). What is the width/offset/tire size of the coupe wheels? I can do some quick calculations and give you a rough idea. My guess is you are not lowered at all.
I would guess the wheels are 19x8 with maybe a 30 offset? According to the website, 225/40's and 245/40's for the tires. If this is right you would need to loose maybe 2mm of offset, or add around a degree of negative camber (which really can't adjust without mods). Regardless, it should be very close. I am running a +35 with 245/45's on a 8" wheel and it is CLOSE, if my offset was down to say +32 to +33, I would rub on the factory suspension.
There are obvious sacrafices with any choice. Rolling fenders, more tire wear, rougher ride, etc. Ah, the price we pay....

Im getting mine this week. Did you use the same lugs from the stock sedan wheels?

Very nice and the color match really closes the deal.
