Will these fit on a gsl-se with the Re-Speed coilovers? From measurements I have taken, it seems like they should just fit, but I am looking to see if anyone has done this yet so I can verify. These are far enough away I can't take the car up to test fit. Tires are 205/40s

They will most likely not, the closest you can get is a backspace of about 4.5", your current setup will have a backspace of 5.6". Adding a spacer will not work neither as then it will hit the fender. Here's a calculator to convert from offset to backspace and get a better visual representation:
