Right around 2 up front (dependent on actual tire width) Easy way, remove the spring , compress the suspension and set the camber to the point is will still clear.

I DD my car with -2.2 rear and -2.8 front, and drive well over 400 miles weekly.

Yes, but you don't have that 295 rear on a 10.5 +15, right? I think that's a tough fit in the rear. Even the 275 will be big without enough camber.

I have a 285 on the rear with a 10.5 +15....only 1.9 rear camber....no issues. Fenders are rolled, though.

Agreed, however, his 295/35/18 is 1.4" taller than your 285/30!

My Daily is down, and I'm not sure how long, so I want the Z to be a bit more street friendly.
If you see my setup a page before, I know that I could definitely fit a 295/35 out back, and I'm not sure about the 275/35 (265/35 could definitely fit) and I am -2 all around. I don't know where your ride height is at but it's definitely doable. Fenders rolled and I have never rubbed after 1000 miles of jersey roads

*just saw your first post. you seem to be about the same height as me in the back so should be fine. The front seems lower so I don't know up front.

Hey thanks everyone. I'm going to try -2.0. I may need to try to roll the fender a bit more. I didn't go all the way because I'm clearing the fender now.

Have you measured? It does look lower in the rear than the front.

Should be fun, sticky, and fast! You are a net +15 offset with the spacer, or you added a spacer on top of the +15 offset?

i was told the wheels are +15. the spacer is not much. like 5mm or so. it just needed room for the inside of tires to clear. I need to take a look at the wheels when i take them off to be sure though since i just bought them and test fitted this weekend.
