What brand tires are you running? Also, what kind of drop are you going to go with? If you go with a subtle drop (i.e. Hotchkis, Tein, RS-R springs), let me know! If it's not too much trouble, I just may go ahead and get another set or rears with a +17 offset!

The tires on the back are Bridgestone S03 and the front is Fuzion. I bought these wheels from someone local, thats why the tires are mismatched.

I had ordered another set of wheels that never came in after close to 3 months, and it just happened that I found these Volks.

I always like the Winnings from the day I saw them on John350z's Z way way back...

but I knew then that the wait and the $$$ was too much. I guess I got what I wished for 3 yrs later.

You guys are crazy buying wheels that don't fit properly and then trying to correct the problem with negative camber.

How much negative camber are you thinking of dialing in here to get these to tuck under the fender?



I know... to each his own, but I just don't get it.

Am I the only one that thinks this is rediculous? Or just the only one stupid enough to open their mouth. I think I'm about to get my *** flamed. Flame Away

Just watch you don't sideswipe any parked cars with the tire sticking out in the breeze.

Camber is not a "look"... It's a requirment for the car to handle properly. You just don't decide to adjust camber to fit the wheels on the car. Camber is not "fasionable". The suspension settings have to work with the car, NOT AGAINST IT.

This is soooo ricey!!!!

With these offsets camber is a requirment to fit the wheel on the car properly. Why not buy a wheel that fits properly, and then camber is an option instead of a requirment.

That's true. But you can argue that this wheel fits properly if he slighly rolls the fenders if he's at stock height. Then he won't need to camber in. Sure it's not your style, but it's what he likes and I think it will look nice once it is complete.

Just lowering it will produce some negative camber. Then with some slight fender modification, he's set

Yes to each his own...but if you see the wheels and how the Z's stance is in person, you would see how aggressive it looks compared to one that has the wheels pushed in.

Right now my camber is at -1.1. I think lowered to about 3/4-1" and about -2-2.5 or so camber with the fenders rolled would work. Probably the camber wouldnt go any further if the S03's sidewall wasnt so straight.

I will probably lower it, but not anytime soon. But the +19 FR off./+ 17 off rear lowered has been done by John350z way back when he had a Z.

If you're really curious, it's been done before. I know at least 3 people from the top of my head: Ravi (GQ 350Z, on DB), john350Z (had them on PPW), t32gzz (Silverstone with Nismo body kit). Oh, there's also this one other guy on 350zmotoring. That guy's from NY I believe and he has SB. I could have also been on the list but......

Here's another guy. I think he's running 285/35s on the back (don't quote me on that).






I swear I'm not an SF Winning stalker!

Silverstone: Coilovers
Daytona Blue: Tanabe springs (don't know which ones...)
Super Black: Coilovers?
Redline: cut springs (?) I think... Oh well, it looks fine
