Ok guys, I have a question that has not been clearly answered yet that I can see. I have spent 3 days reading through almost 40 threads, and cannot find my answer.
Here is my question......
I have 19" rims. I dont have the car lowered (everything is stock). My car has the famous camber problems up front. I have read that the cars come screwed up from the dealer floor, and need an alignment almost immediatly after you buy it.
Here is my problem. My new 19s had tires on for 3 months and wore the inside front tires to the belting. I bought the new tires for all 4 rims and took the car to the Nissan place to get the new tires monted/balanced and the car aligned. The car was used when I got it by the way....
The dealer says they cannot align the car because of the 19" rims, and it has voided the suspension warantee on my car.
Can I get this problem fixed WITHOUT a camber kit and use the 19" rims? I read in 350 Wiki that the front camber cannot be adjusted on the Z. I have the stock 18s on now and its killing me.
Please smeone give me a straight answer.

Get as many adjustable front suspension parts as you can. Stillen or cusco. Get it aligned at a real alignment shop. They typically love it when they see a car with multiple adjustments, because then they can get it just right. Of course, like any shop, you have to get to know the mechanic and build trust.
I heard from a local guy that he gets his alignment checked by my local Nissan every oil change. They seem cool about it.

I also have 19 inch and the inside tire is wore also. I have spoke to a few people and they all suggest getting chamber arms. I for one plan on getting them soon cause I am lowering my car as well. I am going to get battle vision camber arms but I heard spc camber arms are good as well.

I had the alignment shop check and I had -1.25 in the 2 fronts, and -2.25 in the rear. My car is stock.
