After that itll be up to you to figure how much camber, tire size etc. How much pull in the fenders and tire brands all play a major role when dealing with mm's of clearance.
the wider you go, the wider the tire you can run with the perfect offset up to about an 11.5 , then the lower the offset from perfect the smaller the tire that is needed and/or the more camber you need. You will probably end up with something like a 255 or 265 mounted with something lame like -6 degrees of camber.

there is no way I'm going to run -6 camber in the rear. plenty of people have run -3 or -4 running the same set up as me.....no need to hate cuz it looks better than your track junkie car.

Play nice. He has forgot more about tire and wheel setups than you will ever know. I bet your next thread will be about suspension too. So in advance, he will chime in and tell you about that too. He knows his stuff, so take it for what it's worth and stop being rude.

lol you guys should stop being rude by hating on what I want to do with MY car. I know enough about suspension and would not like to hear what you guys have to say since im going to stance my car rather than track....

I like it a lot. Has a nice sound at low rpms and cruising around city/suburb streets. Then gets loud and higher pitched at the upper rpms to redline.

The drone isnt that bad to me...but I come from running a full, 3in, catless, turbo-back exhaust on my MR2

Honestly, with windows up and some volume on the radio it isnt any different than v8 cars.

I get compliments where ever I go on both the looks and the sound from passerbys, car meets, and other Z owners.

If I did it again, I would go with stainless tips as opposed to burnt.

Agreed, too much camber just looks stupid and there's no point cutting up tyres all the time for the sake of it. When you have a car that is both functional and looks good well you simply WIN!

The whole kit is the Nismo V2.

Car is nothing crazy but I enjoy it, I hope it's worthy of the thread. I need to do another shoot but here's another photograph....
