          I ran into a ton of issues by trying to follow DIY's , proceed with caution. 
          Also, the last part of that is overkill, there is no reason to go through all that trouble of making a little board like that, when you can just rock another relay that switches ground. Tis what I did.

                Test fitted the wheels with out the tires. The fronts look good. 17x9 et25 with a 15mm spacer making them et10. 245/40s should be okay.

                The rears are so tight but don't touch. 1mm of clearance from the trailing arm and spring perch. 17x10 et20. I hope the 255/40s stretch a bit on the 10in wheel.

                Urban Motorworx is mounting them and should be ready for pick up tomorrow morning.

                Hopefully concours can squeeze me in for an alignment tomorrow if all goes well with the fitment.

                  How's your back spacing to coil body? I'm 16"x9" ET5 all around and have good clearance to the coil body - but zero clearance to the lower coil collar.

                    Not sure yet. It all is pretty close. I have a skinny 2mm spacer somewhere that I might have to find.

                      I've still got another 3"-4" of thread I could go down on my front coils, but any lower at my current offset and I'll be hitting the rim on the collar. I'd have to get to ET0 I think to clear the collars.

                      Hopefully you've got room!

                        Ordered new rear wheel bearings, the allen bolts that attaches the axels to the diff. Gotta get that new diff installed!

                        Going to have the talented Snap powder coat the M-Coupe cover and some other parts.

                        Side note, these tires are awesome! Slowly pushing the limits while being scared of curbs and cement walls but it's on rails! I still need to address some rubbing issues. Thinking I'll totally cut out the inner fender a quarter of the way from the outside of the car and fiberglass it back shut and/or purchase some adjustable rear coils with some stiffer springs.
