I'm looking into new rims for my Z, and I have seen several postings as to whether Camber kits would be required for the wheel change.

I'm looking at VOLK GT-7's, 19 X 8.5 on the front with 19 X 9.5 on the rear and Eibach springs.

I cannot remember which post I read it on, but someone was concerned with the 1.2" drop in the rear from the Eibach springs, which sparks the question.

I'm guessing, but the tires will wear faster without the cambers, correct?

Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

19's with stock suspension, no problems, no need camber kits. But with Eibach springs, yes, need camber kits or be prepare to buy new tires every couple months.

 

Hankys_z,

Your pic isn't showing. Can you repost? I'd like to see 19's with stock suspension. Also, your sig mentions rubbing...care to elaborate?

 

Okay, this is my car with my old rims ( Axis Supermesh 19's ) with stock suspension.

 

and this is my car with new rims ( Volks LE37T gunmetal 19's ) with Tein basic.

 

The reason why my is rubbing is b/c I got 19x9.5 +12 offset on the rears and I lowered my car. If I had stock height with this offset I will have no problems, but now I lowered that's why it's rubbing. Before I gone lower then the picture you see now, only half of finger gap on the rears, and every time I drove thru a bump, hump, dip, or hard turn at a high speed it will rub very bad. Now, I raised back up to 2 1/4 finger, it's alot better, the only time it will rub is when I go thru dip at a high speed. So I need to get my fenders roll or shave, but right now I am having hard time finding a shop here in Dallas area that will do it for me.
