Default Most aggressive stance with sport rims

So im looking to do something aggressive with the sport rims. Wondering who else has done something like this. looking to do spacers and just springs for now. Saving up to do a really nice susp next year. Im trying to pay off the car aggressivly, so not looking to spend 3k on wheels and anothe 2 on susp. Any ideas and/or pics?

Plenty of examples if you do a search.

Magnetic Black + H&R Springs + 20mm / 25mm Ichiba spacers

^He also runs some pretty serious negative camber, too much for a DD in my opinion.

Depends on what your definition of a DDer is, I guess.

If you've got a long highway commute, you're gonna be wearing only half your tires.

The 25mm in the back looks perfect. However, doesn't anything larger than a 15mm in the front scrape the fender or wheel well somehow on hard turns?

I would like to go 20mm up front but I'd rather not have to deal with scraping/rubbing.

^I agree, that is why. Also, that much negative camber negatively impacts handling performance as well because there is simply less contact patch between the tires and the road.

I am talking in context of a DD in my opinion as well as from what I have seen, I don't mean to criticize you PCH so please don't be offended.

that would be good if the face of the rim was flush but do it to our rims wouldnt do much for flushness. just add more tire.
