Spacers no drop? Who's done it?

Anyone done this that can post your set up here? Seriously considering this but would like to see some options.

Thanks

Not sure I want the drop... I like the factory stance, but feel at the wheel offset could be improved.
What's hoping to see a pic from the side and rear of a 20 wheel car with spacers and no drop.
Can always drop later fi needed, jut not sure I want to sacrifice ride quality.

Run 12 or 15mm spacers up front and 20 or 25mm in the rear and the stance will be even with flares.
