In case anyone was wondering what 15mm spacers all around look like on a 6.2 Carrera with 18x8 +50 & 18x10 +65 Turbo Look II wheels and stock suspension, here ya go.
The fitment, with regards to the wheel to fender spacing, is almost identical to GT3 wheels (my front wheels are 1mm more inboard of 18x8.5 +40 and rears are exactly the same as the 18x11 +63 6.2 GT3 wheels). Obviously width, overall diameter, and scrub radii are different than a GT3, but where the outside of the wheels are located is pretty much the same. Hopefully that makes sense.
Driving impressions: it feels basically the same but possibly a little less feedback in the wheel. The front tires don�t feel as though they�re following every groove in the road quite so easily as they were, however it could be that I�ve just gotten used to it (my first drive in the car home from the place of purchase was about an hour long and on cold, wet roads and I was scared to death of the way the front end just went where ever the grooves in the road were taking it). I drive the car like a grandma and like a pissed off teenager often in the same trip, so there�s a pretty broad spectrum of situations thrown at the suspension. I haven�t tracked the car so I can�t speak to how spacers would affect such a thing.
From an aesthetic perspective, I don�t think it made it look any better or worse. It still looks weird with as much fender gap as there is and the spaced out wheels didn�t help with that in the slightest. Drawing from past experience, I would�ve expected the spacers to make a pretty big positive visual impact, but I�m pretty disappointed with the way it looks right now. Hopefully I�ll have coilovers on it in the coming weeks and I can see what it looks and feels like with and without the spacers once coils are installed.
I think it looks much better. For the gap...You can go with lowering springs (Vogtland, H&R, etc.) for much less $ than coilovers. Coilovers would certainly also solve the problem and give you the flexibility. But once you go with spacers or more wheel offset, you will not go back my friend.
All the springs lower the front and rear the same. I don�t like how the car has a natural rearward rake, aesthetically for the most part. But I also don�t like how light the front feels during acceleration.
The 6.2 GT3 has, in my opinion, perfect stance and I think it�s probably, at the very least, the absolute best starting point for a wheel/tire/suspension setup on this chassis. The most preferable scenario would be swapping every suspension/brake/bracing component for GT3 parts (with the exception of Surface Transforms rotors) and maybe/hopefully that�ll happen one day.
But, for now, the best I think I can do is a good set of coilovers and monoball topmounts with a GT3 alignment until I win the lottery or something equally as fortunate happens. But spending a few hundred bucks just to lose the fender gap in the mean time when the suspension that�s on there has such low miles and operates so well feels foolish. But I�ve been known to be foolish from time to time. We�ll see.
I went with 10mm spacers from ECS Tuning (excellent quality, btw) as I sought to get the wheels out to the lip but not to where it would create an interference issue. It's subtle but effective. Here's a before/after comparison front and rear:

I ordered some H&R springs a couple nights ago. I�ll be putting them on when I visit Florida for the holidays. So hopefully in a couple weeks this thing will look the way it should.
I have coilovers and have about the same amount of gap.
My coilovers are set to their maximum height.
I have to deal with speed bumps and bad roads.
I might lower mine a little soon.
I've been thinking about 1/2" or up to a full 1".
