Wheel/tire size doesn't affect camber/toe settings. Factory specs unless for some performance reason you want something else. If not go with factory spec.

With the Z, you will get uneven wear on the tires due to negative camber and being unable to rotate the tires. They will wear from the inside first do to the stance being : / \

I am running a very neutral rear camber at -1.6 degrees. You can get down to around -1.1-1.3, but you will still wear from the inside out because negative camber is still present.

FYI: a 1" drop on the Z is a pretty significant drop and without the adjustable camber arms, you wouldn't be able to allign to stock specs.

tire/wheel combo absolutely affects your alignment....common sense really. The alignment is done with the wheels on the car....so, as you alter width, tire size and offset, you are totally changing your alignment settings

If you need to readjust your rear camber and toe, the SPC set is the best bet

Your wheels and offset have no bearing on what specs to run. Your wheel and offset MAY impact if you are able to get to stock spec. Just get as close to stock spec as possible.

For what reason? You don't seem to be understanding the concept at hand

Just take your car to the allignment shop and tell them to get it within spec

this is what you need to do:

1. buy the adjustable toe bolts
2. have them installed
3. have your alignment shop then relalign the car back to stock specs
4. have fun

there is no reason on earth for you to buy new wheels...you simply have to buy the other half of the equation (in this case the toe bolts) to make the rear of the car adjustable

1.0 negative camber is 1.0 degree negative camber is 1.0 degree negative camber no matter what wheel tire combo you are using. Same as toe setting. Common sense really. All factors being the same as far as tire surface wear.... you can put any combination of wheel witdh, tire size and you alllignment numbers will be as before. Guaranteed.

I guarantee you are wrong As you alter the size of the contact patch, you unavoidably alter alignment
