Did you guys miss the part "however they are adjustable"...

I would like to be lower but those giant *** 20's rub with the meatier tires I have on em. Im just asking if it fits with stock camber? Or do all you run rediculous camber setting and dont give a sh*t about traction.

When I bought the car it was about 1-2 inches off the ground but I rubbed those dumb*ss wheels everywhere so I had to lift it back up. Now I want some 18's so I can go lower. I just want to get a full life from my tires and not only wear the inner edges. Gotcha!?

1. stop being a *****
2. dont get agressive offsets
3. stretch your tires

^
Front:
18x10 (0 to -10) 225/40
18x11 (+12 to 0) 245/35 | 255/35

Rear:
18x11 (0 to -10) 245/35 | 255/35
18x12 (+12 to 0) 275/35

These sizes won't require crazy -1232131 camber and you won't need ridiculous amount of stretch neither.

^ good info right there! Looks like a 11 and 12 setup would be ideal, nice and aggessive but still some meat on the tires.

Thanks DeeSan for your input. I figured the guys with the nicest cars would be the a**holes but it appears to be the other way around. BTW DeeSan your Z is my favorite so far... Simple, Clean and Mean as F*ck!

Definitely don't run negative offsets if you don't want to mess with the camber.

I think most guys here run stock arms all the way around, unless they're doing some sort of motorsport or trying to get a very specific spec. To add onto what DeeSan said, take a look at this: http://rimtuck.com/search/thumbnails...san&model=350Z It's a basic compilation of specs on our car. A lot of the setups are outdated but it gives you some great references on how it *might* fit on your car. Some of them also give camber specs which is great. Also just some food for thought, don't pull your fenders before you put on your desired spec. It seems simple but a lot of people "over pull" their fenders and then end up needing some spacers to fill the void. If you need anymore help feel free to PM me so we don't clutter up this thread.

+1 on DeeSan's z being sexy.

not hard at all...it all depends on how much camber you would like to run and if you would like to run stretched tires or not. also why go double staggered?

thanks guys

I like helping ppl when I can! Might just be the internet but it's still not a reason to be a douche with people asking questions. You never know, one day that person you took some of your time to help might be the one answering to your questions.
