Plenty of room on stock 19's of Edition 1 Coupe. These are Michelin PSS's. The only place even close to rubbing is on the rear where it's about a 1/4 inch from the carpet thing toward the rear of the wheel well.
Was a pain to take the pics, but here ya go. You have to really look, but you can see the space between tire and shock.

Just drove about 60 miles on the PSS's. A little quieter, definitely a sharper turn in feel. More data soon after my track event on Friday. Oh, no rubbing anywhere from the drive.
Pics of the "stance" tomorrow. Definitely looks better, wheel wells more filled in, almost looks like I lowered it.
Stock suspension, yes.
Only mod is a Eurocharged Tune. Hawk DTC70 pads will be on tomorrow!
Note: MPH is off about 1.5-2 now on speedo vs. gps at 80mph. Was perfect on the OEM tires. (speedo says 80, gps 81/82)

Derek,
If you put a 9.5 or 10 inch wide wheel on the rears, with the same PSS 275's you have, do you think there will be any issues with rubbing the fender, or is the stock suspension high enough to clear? In other words, as you look at your rear tires from the side, is there enough of a vertical "gap" to accommodate your tires if they were pushed out even with the outer edge of the fender, and not just tucked inside?
I look forward to your profile photos. Thanks for sharing....I'd love to see pics of your Edition One...

Im running 275's 19inch on the rear with H&R suspension and I am rubbing when i hit a dip on the freeway or when i have a passenger. I just put them on today and its already rubbing a few times already especially going up driveways. I may have to go to 265 unless i find another solution. Other then raising the car back up lol..

Wow! Your car looks fantastic! I think you absolutely nailed the wheels/tires/springs combination. I will have nearly the exact same wheel size and tire spec you have (19x8.5 ET45 with 245/35 PSS's and 19x9.5 ET50 with 275/30 PSS's), but no lowering of the car. Do you think there will be any rubbing issues at all? I also have the coupe.
