You're going to have to either:

A) roll the fenders
B) run negative camber on all 4 wheels

Maybe both.

I don't feel like running negative camber though wears out tires way to fast... ARGHHHHh lol ... And rolling the fenders the paint will probably crack when i try to do so?!? Is there a trick for the paint not to crack?

I've also seen people on this site with sick drops and wheels offset like no ones buisness... How do they manage this??? Tires must rub on the front fenders when turning

You can run negative camber as long as your toe-in stays within spec. I would not recommend rolling your fenders unless you plan on having your 1/4 panels repainted, as it's the only true "proper" way to do it.

The paint will most likely crack.

Being that you insist on running monster truck wheels, you'll most likely have to roll the fenders, as increased negative camber will probably not negate the contact with the rear wheel arch lip.

These "low offsets" and crazy stances you see are done with wheels of fairly minimal size.

here was my car on 17's


and this is one on 19's ( NOT MY CAR )


just like the one with the 19's my rear is a bit lower than the front and that's why she rubs on the back lips but the front clears fine just with sharp turns...
