My rear tires are noticeably tilting in now after mounting 19s...is this normal?

 

The car already has a bit of negative camber already from the factory. It's just more noticeable now that you have bigger wheels.

I noticed it as well when I mounted my 20s

 

is your car dropped at all? if it is, you may have to get toe and camber adjustable bars. your tires will thank you in the long run. if you jus' put on your springs, let 'em settle out for a month or so before you get an alignment.

n1cK!

 

no, i 'm stock.thats why i was wondering why it has negative camber

 

ah, well in that case, moog's right.

n1cK!

ps-adjustment arms will still help, significantly.

 

The fact that you put 19" wheels should have no effect because the diamater of the tire is the same. I think it looks more negative because your tires are more than likely much wider than stock so it exaggerates it.

 

just lower your car...it'll fix then...

 

lowering your car actually makes it worse. lowering it about 1.5" throws the geometry all out of whack. you'll definitely need some adjustable rods then, even the front a-arms (really expensive).

yeah, i'm definitely in need of rear camber arms...

 

will this cause my tire to prematurely wear faster?i'm thinking about lowing it with tein h techs, but i dont want the tires to wear out too fast. especially since im rolling on 19s...

thanks guys

 

yes, it will definitely cause your tire to preaturely wear on the inside, unless you fix the camber. toe will affect straight line stability and cornering (camber also affects cornering).

should i just wait till i lower it and get one or do it now?damn, now i'm afraid if i do lower it with h techs, i would need a camber kit.

 

G35 Coupes rear camber is more noticible then the Z... you dont really notice it as much until you really look, and you really look when you put on new wheels!

 

^^ yea, thats probably true. i just dont want it to eat up my tires.

 

factory settings (camber) on my z was eating the inner tire edge in the rear from the amount of neg camber. i have a less aggressive camber setting now after my car is lowered as opposed to factory settings to eliminate the need to replace my tires every 10k miles.........

how did you have a less aggressive camber setting after lowering your car?
