Default Flush, ViP look, fitment question? Need some advice!

here it is lets see if i can word it right: i am currently running on work vsxx 20x9, 225/35 +36 front and 20x10 255/35 +32 rear. Im dropped on bcrs. i currently only have minor rub in the front on the tab and bolt that hold the bumper to the fender after i did some mods to it. my fenders are pulled and rolled/shaved?(removed the insulation on the inside). i am tucking a lil bit but i want to get a fuller flusher look so to speak, so i was wondering if i went with a 10mm or 15mm spacer, would i need to get different tires, i was thinking maybe getting the same size General UHP(good for stretch) or maybe going 225/30 and 245/30 but i also dont want the tire too look way to small when you look at the car from the back. Also if i get the spacers and take the car to an allignment shop and have them lower the camber to make my wheels more like this / \ will that help with rubbing issues? And if i CAN do that, what is a safe amount of camber to run in terms of tire wear not being too bad. I also dont really wanna mod my fenders anymore if possible :/
I know i have lots of questions and this is an art of its own and if i had the money to play around i would try different things until i get it to work but since im on a budget im trying to find out as much as i can and be able to do it right the first time! Thx for your feedback in adance!

try going with a 225/30 in the front first... it'll help stretch the tire to have more clearance. and personally i would run a 235/30 in the rear.

thats what the spacers are for...unless you're saying that with 15mm spacers it still wont be agressive enough. also can you adress my camber question as well

I got 245/30/20 on a 20x10 and it looks good but I think 235/30/20 with a 15mil spacer would do the trick in the rear and lower it more

space it out and bend that tab in the front or cut it off.

235 is pushin it a bit too much for me. i think ill go 225/30f and 245/30r
what are some good not so expensive tires for stretch? i know general are pretty good but i cant seem to find them in 245/30...

Check this site out in terms of stretch: http://www.tyrestretch.com/index.php

Mind you they don't have anything with the 20" rim but the width's and sidewalls are the same.
