I've got 195-50-15 Potenza S-03s on 15x7 38mm offset TE37s, and clearance
for the rear spring perch is definitely an issue with my Motivational
coilovers. I need to run at least a 10mm spacer if I want the tires to clear
the rear perches; no issues with the fronts. I've been skirting the issue by
playing with spring length, which allow me to keep the perch higher than the
inside of the tire.

Ben, would you mind sending me the specs for the 12mm spacer you designed?
