Default Spacers???

hey guys, this might be a little confusing, but plz try to follow along. Say for example i were to get spacers on my stock z, (stock suspension, rims..) I would get 25mm front and 30 rear, ok? so with this, the wheels on front would be right below the fenders, while the rear would be a little more outside the fenders. But, say I drop my car, like a lot, wouldnt that not allow the wheels at any point to be right under or outside of the fenders anymore? even with shorter spacers. Even if I were to get 10 or 15 mm spacers after getting it slammed, the wheels would never be right under the fenders, they would be inside, behind the fenders, is that correct? then wouldnt that not look as good since the wheels are not coming out of the fenders? If so, I shouldnt lower my z right? since i like my wheels to be right below/out of the fenders. I hope you guys understand what im trying to say.

You'd have to run negative camber, IIRC, to mitigate the wider stance of wheels being flush with the fenders.

This would lead to faster tire wear and maybe bad handling.

If you want to "slam" your car... get the correct offsets (vendors here will help you), and roll your fenders to allow the tires to travel up without hitting the inner fender lip.

o i c. its just that, when i see lowered z's, when in a sitting position, the top of the wheels are hidden by the fenders, and you cant see all around the wheels, the top is chopped off, I dont like that look. So i guess I shouldnt get my car lowered.

For looks you set up the tires with lots of negative camber so the TOP of the tire fits under the fender.
