If you are dropping it they might tuck in more with a bit of camber.

I think the 20s work well, but like you say... I wouldn't want to go any more.
If I was doing it, I'm not sure which way I'd go 15 or 20

With 15s, do you think the OE studs would still clear the wheels,
or would they stick out too far?
Oh, I'm sure the studs would clear with the 15mm spacers with no problems. The stock S wheels have deep insets cast into the wheels, so there should be plenty of room for the stock studs. I may end up selling the 20 mm rear spacers and going with 15 mm spacers on the rear instead.

I have spacers - 20mm front and 25mm back. Ckp has 25mm all around, and another member has 20mm all around. We all have M sport rims (8.5 width, +50mm offset).
Yeah. I actually used my spring compressor tool to compress the rear springs a little to simulate a lowered rear end and it did look a little better with the tops of the wheels tucked in more, but the lower part of the rear wheels still stick out a little too far for my tastes. I'm almost wondering if 15's would be too much too. Hmmm..

By the way, I am planning on taking some better pics sometime this week now that the suspension has fully settled. I'll make sure to post some new pics as soon as I have them.

Got them on eBay for $75 / pair, plus shipping. Here's a link:

Here's a different vedor that has the 15mm spacers for the same price:

Once you're dropped, you will be VERY glad you went w/ 20mm spacers. 15mm spacers just won't look good on a lowered car. I do agree w/ you that 15mm would be just about perfect if you are not lowering.

BTW, why wait for Tein? Just get kalvinmaui's brand new in box JIC Magic for $1650. These are higher quality than anything Tein would put out. At $1,650, that's close to $1000 lower than retail. I'd get these in a heartbeat if I didn't already lower my car w/ Eibachs:
