The wheel gap is killing me, so lowering the car is a must. When I purchased the wheels, I was expecting them to be pretty flush with the fenders, but they actually stick out about 1cm at the top of the wheel.

I'm looking to lower it as much as I can without having to run much more negative camber than stock. I was going to go with coilovers, but am now just thinking about using Swift springs and lowering it about an inch.

Is there anyone with similar size wheels that could post pictures of their setup so I can get an idea of what to expect?
I am running the same widths as you just a more aggressive offset, a +17 front and +8 rear on coil-overs you will be able to maintain a OEM camber angle if you get the camber arms and what not. Also if you look at anyone with a set of TE37's they will have a +22? front and +12 rear.

Here is a few pictures
