Would Running 295/30/19 in the rear be too much?

Will I need to install some kind of camber kit to get to -3?
If so can you recommend one?
Since I already know they are going to wear quickly will the camber just add to the wear. Are there any downsides to running the -3 camber?
Does - camber effect the performance of the tires in a positive/negative way?
Also are you happy with the 295 R888 from a traction perspective?
I'm nowhere as "extreme" as your setup but I'm putting down 472rwhp and I want the most traction I can get.
I've invested in the built 8.5:1 motor/turbo/F-con/quaife plus install by an expert, the only missing ingredient at this point is the traction.
Thanks again.
PS Jet; no offense taken. You are correct I've been asking the same questions for a while now and I appreciate your input a great deal. The problem is that several people and pictures have contradicted your opinion; that's all. I have no problem with you at all. I am the type of person that does not accept the opinion of just one person; I need to gather everything I can from multiple sources. The reality here is that another member on the board is running R888's and has a different spin on things then you do; nothing more. Thank you again for your input.
Also in your post from today you make the following statement:
"A 10.5" tire takes a 295/305/315 tire. Not a 275."
In a recent post to me you contradict yourself; recommending a 275 rear.
Here is the link to the post: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/366346-looking-to-buy-r-compound-tires-need-help.html
Here is your direct quote directed to me: I would run a 245/40/18 front 275/340/18 rear in the R888. That will work for you.
Both statements can't be true. It's one or the other. Again no hard feelings, but examples like these are the reason I need to ask over and over again and get input from multiple people.

If you want me to go into detail about my recomendations PM me and and I will give you my phone number. We can talk. Your boarding the fail boat and you don't even know it.

More negative camber will give you better traction while cornering, but it will hurt your straight line traction. It will also wear your tires pretty unevenly.
There are alot of camber options.
Here is one:

There are also plenty more options availible at the Marketplace.
Edit: Jetpilot beat me to it.

Typically people run more camber in the front than the back...for turn-in purposes. -3 degrees camber or more is mostly reserved for those that run tight tracks... Street driving, personally i wouldn't run more than -2 degrees in the back...good thing about the R888 is that it's rated for -2.5 degrees to -5 degrees...but I have yet to test that out myself honestly. But even with -2 degrees in the back, I'm getting a lot more traction than with my old T1R street tires. I think you'll be ok with that. Just FYI...I'm running -2.3 degrees up front. I like how it feels right now...crisp turn in and holds the corners until exit.
As far as camber kits go, I can't really give you any advice as I don't have one, and never had one.
Good luck with your decisions.

There was one other pic I liked but I threw it out because it was so blurry but I dug it back up and tried to clean it up a bit. Kinda shows a different angle. It's an old 3 meg camera and it's not mine either.

I dont know if this helps much but this is Kenny's 350Z (kenny@performance) on his rear. 305 30ZR 19 on a 19x11 +24, there is a slight roll done to it, no rubbing, camber is unmodified (pretty much whatever camber you get from a drop).

Fitment question for vdc/slip
295/30/18 rear and I have slip light flash on me and cut my power completely. Not sure if this would be an issue but I’d like to check all bases. I’m assuming it’s my crank position sensor.

Pretty obvious why VDC (or TCS, whatever) is kicking in. Rear tires are supposed to be 3% +/- .25% TALLER than the front not 1.3% shorter. ECU says, "Whoa, you're spinning out!" and cuts power everytime you move the car.
Why do you think it's the crank position sensor? Did you pull a P0335 code?
