Guess i should have gone with a little more camber. Still rubs just a tad and actually hits my rim a bit. But my fenders are just rolled. If toeknee can pull of a 275 on a 20x10.5 +0 at -3.5 camber i should be able to pull of a 245 on a 20x10.5 -3 at -3.5 camber. He pulled his a good bit tho. I just need a mild pull and i should be straight then i can focus on getting the fronts the way i want them.

Looks good. Should look even better with a few more aero pieces. My Blitz spoiler should arrive this week (I hope) so I'm clearly a fan.

As an aside, I really hope the cops in Hilo are cooler than Honolulu... That tint would definitely get a ticket here. haha

I've got almost 9,000 miles outta my rears so far and its now time to flip em. I have -4.6 camber out back. If I can get almost 20k outta my tires rollin this aggressive I am pretty damn happy.

Whats your specs in the rear again BigC? I told them to do -3.5 camber in the rear. Kinda thinking I should have did more. Did you pull the fenders at all or just roll?

^^ I like the sticker slogan; I think the font is kinda tacky. I say work on the design a little more. Fancy it up and it could look pretty slick.

20x11 -5
255.30.20

Roll and very slight pull. My rear lips still hit the inside fender. Rims are all scratched up from it.

Wish I had stiffer suspension in the rear, that would help a LOT.

In the pics it looks like I have mad room but the rim just physically sticks out too much which is why it hits the inner fender. I don't want to pull that much more though and risk making the fenders wavy. So I just deal with it. Did that on my old s13 and I hated how it looked.






Just for shitts & giggles and I feel like reminiscing.......my old s13.......I miss it and wish I never sold it 385whp & 375wtq SR20......car was 10x funner than my Z.

^your car was the inspiration for my s13. used the same offsets and tire sizes. i miss the stiff feel of my s13, but i think once i have my z on coils it'll be just as fun and i won't have to be scared 24/7 of getting harassed for "illegal modifications." btw what spring rates are you running?

I like the slogan you got on the rear bumper there but white would defeat the murdered look.
try a vinyl similar to your wheel finish or lighter (appear to me as a flat gunmetal) or a metallic black vinyl on the rear glass
- slant the slogan
- graffiti type font
*there is a font called jack the ripper that would play well with the slogan

Thanks man. I know what you mean about the stiff feel the s13 had. I had Tein Flex Coilovers w/EDFC with just the normal 7/7 spring rates and that car felt rigid. Way stiffer than the Z. I'm running Ksport Coilovers in the Z with 12/10 rates. I have some 12kg springs I want to put in the rear. Just been lazy. I really only had 2 choices for coils since I wanted to ride slammed and needed a true rear coil which limits you to Stance and Ksport. Stance was backorder at the time and I didn't want to wait 3-4 months just to put my rims on.

I've looked into it since and have found Zeal and JIC make a true rear coilover for the Z but they are both way above 2 grand in price but I think that will be my next mod. I bet they would ride 10x better and be a lot stiffer than the Ksports. I want that really rigid/stiff feeling in the Z that my s13 had

that just too expensive for a molded piece of carbon fiber that doesnt really even help with much IMO
