Because something in your setup was out-of-wack. You can sit here all day and say everything was perfect, but there was obviously a problem somewhere. Possibly you bought used spacers and were told the wrong size? You aren't providing much information aside from "this is the size, everything is perfect". Like Tehk and others have said, it doesn't add up, people have ran more aggressive setups with no problems on a slight pull.
I'm sure you all get sick of people asking the questions, but I'm not a complete moron when it comes to cars. I'm simply dumbfounded at the fact that it didn't fit.

I know that it doesn't add up, but I can't give anymore information except what I am 100% sure the specs were and how it fit together. I know what the alignment specs said for rear camber when it was on the rack and I adjusted the arms, I know the wheels were 10.5" 0 offset bought brand new and I know my spacers were 15mm bought new, referenced to the H&R site with part number.

No reason you should have issues fitting that size in the rear with that much camber.

^ i think it has to be your roll / pull. I bet the guys that can fit a more aggressive offset wheel and offset have a more aggressive roll and pull.

This is what I mean. It would help if anyone around me owned a G/Z and knew anything about wheel fitment, or if shops weren't clueless when you ask to pull fenders, or run negative camber. All my friends know are VW's/Audi's.
I appreciate the input from everyone, this is the first attempt for me in terms of going with semi-aggressive wheel fitment/cutting/pulling fenders. All the reading and research I do just didn't add up to my result.

These are the only 2 pics I have...straight on from the rear and rolling from the side. In this pic the rears are -10 offset (smaller spacer).

I'm not sure why he's assuming a G35 will be able to run the same specs as a Z without issue.
It would have helped to say it was a G35 from the beginning, you can't run the same setup as a Z and expect the same results.

I mean +15 not -15...
Yea something doesn't add up. I say find a shop that has done an alignment in specs then rip your car apart checking everything!
Bushings
Torque
Upper arms are on the right side
Then re install everything nd get another alignment. Sounds crazy but if it's never been in a wreck and everything seems to be in working order its the alignment!
That's where my money is
