I think 60/40 will give the best stance without any issues like rubbing or too much negative camber on the rear tyres (meaning quicker tyre wear).

That's the setup I'm going for in the new year as soon as I have some money again :)

That's 60mm on the front and 40mm on the rear by the way.

This one is 60mm all round:

A bit too low on the rear in my opinion, especially if you're gonna have stuff in the car or people in the rear.
