Would it be safe to say that if someone ran 16" wheels with those offsets, there would probably not be a caliper clearance issue?
Yes. The 16's would fix the issue I had.

Did you have to massage the lips on your front wheel arches?
I didn't. No rubbing at all.

5mm is cutting it really close!
It is. It's the bare minimum.

did you get hub-centric spacers and shorten your studs?
Yes to the hub-centric spacers. I got them from Elephant Racing. I didn't shorten the studs. They are still factory. I changed the fronts and they are 80mm. Got those from Elephant too.

you car looks fantastic btw. doing mine with E50 9x15 11x15s...
THANKS and can't wait to see some pictures!
