What exactly were the tweaks? A little more drop, spacers and a fatter tire? I ask because I have about the same gap as you did and would like to fill it up. I was hoping to do it mostly by tire size.

Same suspension as posted on my sig:
Wheels, running 20mm front/25mm rear which should bring me to 20 front/19 rear offset on a mild stretch 225/40 fronts and 255/35 rears, i'm not quite ready to run any smaller tires as i still commute long distances.

It's on Tein CST w/ a special adapter.

and when it's your own car, it's 10,000x better
i believe there's about 2mm -3mm max clearance between the tires and shaved fenders.
