Welcome. Don't take this the wrong way but I much preferred the first photo "before" waaaaaaaaaaaaay more. Perhaps the last pic is the nicest wheels of the bunch you tried, but personally I'd raise it up about 2" in front and 3-3.5" in rear and fix camber to about stock levels or slightly more negative. Maybe no more than -2.5 for safety/longevity--also due to slamming, your front A-arm bushings (2 per side), front control arm thrust bushing, rear lower and upper CA bushings are severely twisted/stressed/deformed. For safety's sake, I hope you considered that. Proper Roadholding emphasizes those bushings

Either way thanks for posting

Clean, whats your plans for next set of wheels?
I recognize those SSR from a past 3IS owner.
and where are pics of your trunk setup?
recommend you go with OEM JDM door visors instead of current ones you have, it will be cleaner looking.
and also go ahead and ignore E46CT post, (he thinks everybody car should look the same like his, which is stock)

man, that is way too much camber in the rear just to "fit" some wheels
I mean even air'd up you probably do not have much tire contact patch

if you gonna do that, you might as well camber the front to even out the look. It doesn't look "correct" now even if you going for the camber look.
