The back wheels are supposed to have 20 minutes of positive toe each side at the back so they will be pointing in slight at the front, and that figure has a 10 minute tolerance so they could be pointing in as much as half a degree if their on the limit.

I don't think there's much you do with the rear arches on a Coupe they already are kinda rolled and there isn't really a lip. You may be able to gain a couple of mm by squashing the factory rolled edge down but it'll break the paint.

I did think you were pushing it a bit with a 9" rim and ET 20, I guess at least you'll two spare wheels for the back.

Make sure you put the stock wheels and tyres back on before getting the alignment done as a 10mm difference in ET on the axles will confuse the hell out of the tracking gauges.
