To get spacers...or not to get spacers...

Whats going on guys, after seeing all these super VIP Lexus' n' stuff, I reallyyyyyy want my wheels to be super flush with the fender.

I'm running 19x9.0 wheels with a 44 offset (all around) and 245/35/19 tires. I have decent space between the edge of the tire and the inner part of the fender....probably one finger. So, i guess i'm just trying to get it super flush, esp in the rear. Yay or nay? Also, the alignment shop said its best to get a camber kit before doing an alignment on a lowered vehicle...how much truth is there to that? I know it'll help preserve my tires a little longer, but thats like $300 F/R

First, the 44 offset with 9" wheels moved the wheel out 9/16" more than stock, I don't know how much farther you can go, so we'll need to see what one of the guru's have to say.
If the car is lowered, and you want the alignment to be right, then yes, a camber kit would be necessary to bring it into specs when the alignment is done.

Do just alignment and stay where you are. Your setup is perfect. Do something else instead.
