I think I know what I did LOL 
.
I definitely went with (H&R) 15mm spacers (as stated), so not sure where you got the 5mm figure from?
To negate boring the wheel, you would need 20mm spacers and a custom 64.1 to 70.1 spacer, but there is not enough meat on a 15mm to do this (I did look into having a rear one bored out before I had the wheels machined, as I wanted the option of being able to rotate the wheels). I felt that 20mm would have been too aggressive and not allow me to track the car (unless I left the ride height stock). This set up has been achieved with zero arch modifications (which is what I wanted)

How much negative camber did you use? The STR setup is a 17x9 with offset between +60 and +63. The stock rims with a 15mm spacer would be +50, although 12.7mm narrower making them closer to a +54mm on a 17x9. The negative camber is necessary to get them under the fender.

The reason for the spacers was two-fold - in my research I read that you needed spacers to clear the inner arches, otherwise you had issues on full lock, plus at a later date I will be fitting an AP BBK, which requires these spacers to fit behind the OEM wheels - it only looks good as an aside
