I can't tell on your ride height, shadows, the minimum amount of change in the angle and compression on the tire may not change much for you. I can tell however that you now have more room inbetween your fender and tire. As far as ride height, you may have increased height because of the roundness of your tire. as in, a 35 has rounded edges rather than square. the tire may get taller towards the center. These are all very tiny key points that we tend to miss. Also, don't forget that most race tires are softer on the inside of the tire and hard on the outside for cornering (sidewall flex). don't forget tire wear plays a part too in take off some of that ride height while previously cambered.
265/35 front and rear. I took camber out of the REAR. Focus on the rear of the car. In the front I actually added camber, hence why it is lower as well. I had to drop the rear 3/4" to get it back to the ride height it was at before.
Also, rounded edges won't contribute to nearly a full inch of ride height difference.

It raised the car. Fender to ground distance is higher. By almost an inch. I had to get helper springs for my coilovers to I could lower my car back to down to it's desired ride height, since I had to droop the spring to go lower.

From my personal experience, adding camber has lowered my car, and taking camber out has raised it. No diagram or math explained over the internet will refute my personal experiences with camber change.
