This is the amount of camber im looking for
Also, got the spacers today, everything should fit at stock ride height, and it might even fit lowered. I took some pics but im at work now and cant post them
a 165/45r15 is a tiny tire. had a set of them on my rabbit. if was was to swap those onto my old wheels i could have easily went down another inch or so.
edit to reminisce:

Nice! Also one more question
The factory tire size is 185/60 R14
Im putting a 165/45 r15 tire on a 6.5" rim
when calculating the speedo difference, should i calculate like 165/65 (for the rim size) or 165/45 or somewhere in between?
EDIT: after googling, im so confused, 45 is the height? I always thought that was width, and the 165 was height

the 165 is the width of the tire. the 45 is the % of width that makes up the sidewall..
so, height = rim size plus the % of width times 2..
a 165/45r15 is 15" + (165 x .45 x 2) = 15" + 148.5mm
there are 25.4mm in 1" so 148.5/25.4 = @ 5.85"
Therefore the tire is 20.85" tall..
using the same math a stock 185/60r14 tire is 22.75" tall. So your looking at almost 2" less overall height and 1" less radius.
to add, unless width is an issue with height, a 195/45r15 tire (which i ran) is 21.9". a little more the 3/4 " less height than the stock 14", but also 10mm wider for performance.
went ahead and ordered the tires today, everything is coming together! YIPEE
