I garauntee that if you got the same type of tires you have now in 19's on a factory width rim or maybe even lighter wheel and pulled some camber and raised the car to no more than an inch lower than stock you would have much better traction. But you would lose show appeal. The rear suspension has a camber curve the lower you go the faster it gains camber when the rear dips under acceleration, also a stretch on the tire tends to lower contact at the center which is the largest part of the contact patch. It also stresses the sidewalls making a highspeed blow out more likely. Do what you want it's up to you but just so you know it is much less safe and you are wasting a lot of your tires grip.
