I think I read that 5mm spacers give you just enough thread for a safe install, I'd confirm this for sure but you may be OK w/out longer studs. I'd be a bit nervous w/ just 1mm clearance though

i know i check 3 times i can get a full 5 to 6 turns on it with 5mm spacers every thing clears great ! but makes me nervous

i dont do any agressive driving in this car unlike the evo x,i had that thing in so many directions at sebring and road atlanta but with this im 50/50

still checking out prices and install for extended stud spacers in 10mm or spacers with the built in studs at 15mm for the fronts

Before I got my new wheels I had my fronts spaced w/ 15mm Ichiba V2 spacers (the bolt ons) and I had issues w/ rubbing the inner fender lip (since it's not a straight roll like the rear fender lips) so I had my new wheels cut to leave about 8mm from the lip. Not sure if the coupes are different but you may want to leave a bit more room to clear those fender rolls. There may be other spacer options, even a custom cut to get you about 3mm clearance at the calipers. Too bad the wheels didn't clear like you thought they would out of the box
Those Akebonos look great but can be a bit*h to clear those monsters
