well, you can still have a little more negative camber and be in factory specs, just fyi. and a little more negative camber in the front will actually help you corner better. mine are at -1.6 which is still factory specs. & i can probably go wider or lower offset in the front.

 

pics. My wheels are slightly cocked in the garage so i took both sides so you can see that isn't why. I have the above pictures of the front showing the wheels actually out further then i took the rears showing that the rears ARE NOT out further and could use a spacer to match the front.

I think if i put 265's on the front of mine i would have serious fitment issues! there must be a difference in fender spacing.

The only other thing i could think is if the shop didn't order mine in +30 offset. Do they come in another offset that is less?

first 2 are of the rear, showing above and slightly to the side to show they are in a little bit. (like my toes? lol)

 

ya, i'm going to have my buddy that works on the bmw side of dreyer align my car next so he can do it a little more aggressive. If i take it and have just a regular tech at infiniti do it then they will only put it to stock specs (liability reasons they say).

 

here is my car with them on, they acutally came from the dealer with the wheels on , I asked them to swap them out with stock 08 wheels to lower price and i didnt want to ride around with someone esle wheels that had the car before me but they didnt oh well

 

You need to shine those tires a bit. I like the black rims but I think the gunmetal looks a little better.

 

nice!

are you talking about mine? mine are bad, they've been collecting dust in the garage along with the road grime from before since I drive it daily. Since i'm tearing the car apart thursday for my super charger install i haven't been much for cleaning it. It'll get the full works once my install is done though!

 

No not yours, 350ZnFuture

 

 

I don't have a Z yet since im currently selling my 740i, but I think your rear tires are too tall the series is wrong(middle tire number). On staggered wheels like most BMW wheels use a smaller series tire. You should be running 275/35/18's.

 

Thats because for a BMW the 275/35 would be the correct tire. But for the Z where you need a stagger in height , you need to run the 40 (aspect ratio) in the rear.

 

another name for stagger is offset but you could be right.

 

offset is the distance from centerline on the wheel to the mounting surface. Stagger is a difference in sizing. the Z typically runs a stagger in tire height , wheel width, and tire width from front to back.

 

Ic terrasmak thanks for schooling on the Z. I can't wait get mine at a minimum it will be an enthusiast model since I cant find the touring in my price range.

 

i think this thread is over-n-out.
