that's awesome dude. So which BBK template that you checked your wheels with and how much clearance did you have, especially the rear?

One of these weekends, I am going to test fit my wheels on my buddy's Brembo model to see if they clear up front.

For those of you that are interested, my alignment specs:

Front Camber Arms set to stock.
Rear Camber Arms are used for adjustment.
Rear Toe Arms are using stock adjustments.

Toe
F: 0.04deg | 0.04deg
R: 0.08deg | 0.08deg

Camber
F: -2.0deg | -2.3deg
R: -2.5deg | -2.6deg

Since the front camber is not adjustable except in 0.5deg increments with the CUSCO arms, I am going to check ride height to see if its causing the front .3deg difference.

That's awesome man. If the rear can clear those big'ol front, I'm sold to the VS-XX: Assuming their 19" version is the same?

Looks great Ray! I take it you didn't even have to roll fenders?

The front fender is rolled form the factory. The rear fender was rolled back from when I had the SF-Challenge.

You have alot of haters every time you do something it seems. Just know that Tubbs thinks every decision you've made is great! These wheels look great, and the fact you went with 18's instead of 19's must garner respect!

18 4 life.

*Update* Just to confirm, the tires to do not rub under 99.99% of the time even under super hard cornering!

For those who dislike a stretched tire based on various arguments I have heard, nothing beats solid proof that Motorsports' teams have a similar mindset, even on the 350z.

Ray, I have been waiting to see pics of your new setup.. as you can tell I am a little slow on things! I still love your old Enkei's and I still get people telling me they will never fit!! I love the way they handle, I threw some new falken's on the rear and just ran my first SCCA event (in this car). It kept me laughing all day as all the american muscle head guys kept freaking out that I could stuff a 265 in front. I need more seat time in the car but as for the wheel setup I can't complain!
