In Progress Pics of New Wheels

so you are going to make the front look just as goofy as the back? sweet

Yes, I have to camber it more, otherwise it WILL look like the "mexican" style with the tires sticking out the fender. Adding negative camber pulls it back towards the center of the vehicle and sits flush...

Making the front wheels also slant outward at some nonsense angle is not going to stop it from looking mexican.

you know how you fix that...don't put on the spacer...such a simple solution

It's not about the spacer, it's about matching the front to the rear. Adding negative camber without throwing on a spacer will not make it flush. It's either a 10mm or a 15mm spacer that will do the trick. Since I don't know how much negative camber I can get out of the setup, I can't fully determine what size spacer I need.

I guess you can't tell the difference between a lowered car and one that is not, or one where the wheels are cambered and one where it's not.

the "hellaflush" pic is halfway there. The bottom half of the rear wheel sticks out as far as the bottom half of the wheel in the mexiflush pic.

hellaflush = 1/2 x mexiflush ?

Are you serious? So are you sayin that the people that formed the term hella flush don't know what they're talking about? Being flush has to do with having aggressive offsets and having proper fitment. You're NOT going to get an aggressive or low offset without stretching tires and without adding negative camber, it's just impossible.
