Question on spacers and current Offset

I have a question on offsets, and it seems you guys are the pros at this! I didnt want to start a new thread, but had lack of responses on someone esles thread
My summer wheels are 20x8.5 245/35/20 +20 fronts, and 20x10 275/30/20 +20 Rears.
I am in need of new tires because of alighnment woes. So I bought the SBC Camber kit, and will be getting an alighnment prior to putting on the rims again with new tires. Snice I am doing this I'd like to get it as flush as possible with out having to roll fenders and what have you.
at +20 would a 5MM spacers in the rears and fronts bring me to +15? How flush is +15 and what would you guys reccommend as far as spacers go.
Look forward to all your responses some bad some good it comes with the territory.
For reference heres a pic of the camber I had/have and wheels. Alighment will be done in the next couple of weeks, so I am also looking at what is a good camber that wont wear tires inside as much, and still allow me to go for the look I desire.

I going to start off by telling you that it's REALLY subjective when you ask for the "flush" opinion.
To try to get somewhere in the middle of the spectrum:
Many of the guys here consider the rim to be "flush" when it is poking out with the tires tapering in enough to clear the fender. Others consider the lip of the rim, lined up to the fender as "flushed". I prescribe to both depending on the application of going for looks, or getting enough beef on the back for traction.
Judging from your corner angle shots, a +5 will get you in the most conservative definition of "flushed". The 275/30 tire will probably add enough stretch for you to go up to a 10mm spacer if you wanted it more aggressive.
-Just an opinion from someone's who run a wide spectrum of 8mm, 15mm, and 20mm spacers on the typical Volk and Works rim offsets.

I'm dropped about as much as you. With my spacer and a 20X10 wheel (275/35 tire), my offsets where +17 in the rear. I also have a SPC camber kit with a -1.6 degrees of camber on both sides. If you want near stock camber you'll need your fenders rolled.

35oZephyR - Great advise, thanks! Actually to me flush is lined up with the fender/quarter panel. Going over that is more of an aggressive look i think.
Yeah I think im gonna roll with 5mm Spacers. I don't want to have to roll the fenders, and since I'm going with a close to OEM Camber I should be in the clear.
