when i put em on..they looked slightly cambered (positive). when i purchased the rims they came tires. and the tires already kinda looked worn unevenly. that won't cause cambering? if i lower the car will it fix the camber?

I'm looking into getting wheels for a '92. I would like the same size wheel/tire all around for ease of maintenance. I'm not going to make tons of power, and I'm not looking to spend gobs of money on it. I want as flush as possible, and am willing to use small spacers to move a pair of wheels out to sit with the fender. Just looking for clean, not too aggressive. Here's the setup I'm looking at:
18x8.5 or 18x9 wheels
245/40 or 255/40 tires
What sort of offset would I need to make these flush with the fenders/quarters? I saw a setup with 18x10 +30 that looked awesome, but I looked at tire prices and reconsidered, lol!
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: one more question...what size spacers would I need to sit the stock wheels flush when they're on during the winter?
Thanks!

fronts look like there is POSITIVE camber... = nastey camber. please lower the car lol - car looks nice though, what kit is that?
275 is too much for the front at that offset, or even if it's at +50. I say go out and get some 235's for the front or if you don't want to mess with the fenders go with 225. you can leave the 275's in the rear with no mods but when you drop it you might need a little tweaking.
Car looks amazing with that kit, i'd go with different wheels though.

I have a black sc300. I been thinking about getting some bronze or gunmetal Work Emotion CR-Kais, however, I dont know what they will look like.
Anyway, what sizes and offsets should I get?
I was thinking R: 18x9.5 +20; F: 18X8.5 +20.
They come in the following:
18x8.5: +38,, +32, +25, +20
18x9.5: +38, +30, +20, +12
Also, what sized tyres should I run?

that'd be a "performance" setup... you could also go 245/40-18 up front as well with similar performance...
if you do the +20, it'll still work, but you'll need slightly narrower tires...
