I wouldn't run negative camber to just give you a "look" if there is still going to be a gap. Camber should usually be run as much positive towards oem spec as you can based on your ride height.

And just use your fingers or a diagram to see how tires cambered out vs cambered in would affect the gap and overall height, you should get it really easily.

from my understanding, i would rather lower your car, than adding more negative camber.

common sense would tell you that the wheels are tilting away or toward the fender when you camber + or - there will be a difference in where your tire sits relative to the fender. And if you're going from 18's to 19's..... obviously it's not gonna be the same

i have no idea what the hell you even really said in your post it's pretty confusing, punctuation and form a proper sentence maybe we could help you better

"later on in the future, i had 19's put on" wut ?!

It DOES raise the car a bit, but only about .1 of an inch for every degree of a 19x9.5 wheel. The wider the wheel, the slightly more it raises it per degree. I drew this up on AutoCAD.

...without adjusting the ride height(springs or coilovers), and only adjusting the camber more negative(assuming a camber kit is present). It's like the wheels are tiptoe-ing. Kinda hard to explain but If you think about a square or a rectangle, when you start to turn it, it gets taller. At the same time, it brings the outer top of the wheel .1in closer to the fender.

Take a credit card, or a SD memory card or etc. and pretend its a wheel and start tilting it on top of your desk, ...nomsayin?

I know I know....cool story bro.
