Also, that meaty look on stock suspension is not looking good in my opinion, as it gives the car an off road truck look -> Done it myself
For reference -> Check out the following pictures, and add another 5mm to the poke, this is about what your setup will look like

thanks for the pics and i think your car's wheel set up looks great without the drop.
could you elaborate on why using spacers is not advisable?
i get what your saying on the ultra poke and the silly offroad look and agree. but to accomplish a non-issue fitment with 9" all around for ease of tire rotation i'm gonna need some spacer to clear factory perch even with the smaller 245's that i didn't want to stretch over the 9" rim. (gotta compromise somewhere, actually wanted 255's but that seems to be asking the impossible)
so although 12mm spacer is ridiculous, perhaps the 5mm or if i can somehow find someone that sells one a 7mm would get enough clearance for the wheel and still let me stay with the 9" all around for great concavey look, and the ability to rotate tires. i would then also just spacer the rear to match the profile of the front.
thoughts? or is this still not advisable?
in advance,
