Default Opinions on possibly new setup

OK guy I have a problem of me looking at my car and not liking the way it sits. Here is a picture of my car and tell me your opinions on how my new look could look. I want to put some spacer in the rear and front to get a more aggressive look. Right now my set up is 255/40/18 275/40/18 +20 (9.5)(tanabe gf210 springs) all the way around. With an aggressive off set like a 10mm spacer in the rear and maybe a 5mm up front(go less of an offset?), should I drop my tire rating down from a 40 to a 35 and keep my 255 up front and push a 285 or 295 in the rear??? Would this look good. I want opinions on this setup and also Would a 35 put to much of a gap between my fender and wheel??? Thanks for the help.





P.S. Hope I don't get banned for this thread now. Those know what I'm talking about.

Spacers like you said and lower more imo.

Im like you, always wanting to change something at least a little.

So I bought coilovers so I can adjust the height when I want

If my current set up is +20 all around and If I put 10mm spacer in rear and 5mm up front would that make the front +15 and rear +10???

If this is true does some one have a picture of the +15+10?? or a little more aggressive set up?

You may want to correct that negative camber too, to extend your rear tire life. (Or maybe this is a track setup, in which case you might want to leave it as negative as it is). Anyway if you plan on straightening out those rear wheels maybe you should do that first, then see how much fender gap you're left with and judge the spacer thickness and tire sizing on that.
