Agree , but remember he has pulled fenders and molded his rear bumper with his quarter panel..... And he destroyed nissans lines and tore up his fenders AND voided his warranty, LMAO

Tobys car is up there next to op's , if he only posted more damn pics and stops teasing us! Lol

I don't get what u mean by the first line tho????

See this is the problem, the tittle and the major purpose of the ORIGINAL OP (JZurita) was too have AGGRESSIVE AND FAT TIRES , not just fat , his car is a perfect example,

Once again to make myself clear,
If u track ur car then by all means go for function , bc that's what's going to win you events,

BUT

95% of US don't track... And dont BS urself , were doing it for the LOOK,

If u don't agree with me on the purpose of this thread then change the tittle or start another thread, and if anyone can get a hold of the original OP, I'd love to know what his opinion is on the direction of HIS thread , lol

But I am glad to see this thread get some activity going, haven't seen it this busy in awhile

This thread is turning into a pissing match. Which is not the right direction. Coming from all parties. Let's just work together and better this tread as this has a ton of potential.

Yes Jzurita Z was sick. I met him, pretty cool guy. he saw my Z when i rented a fender roller from him. He was impressed by my z with (StretchSkinnyTires) and i must say that his z is by far the right model of this thread. fat and aggressive the rest are just full of fatness with the wackness of their offsets

I know Toby from the brother thread and he definitely will bring you the best he got not less. I am pretty sure this thread will get back on its feet soon.

I thought it would be a good idea to quote him again to show you what being aggressive with fat tires should be. This is a Twin Turbo Z running 255/35 and 295/35. Thats pretty functional to me and aggressive and as far as i know, most of you are Natural Aspirated. Not what i would run but a pretty good example of what this thread should be about.

Perhaps we start a new thread..."track wheel set up". I agree w/ a lot...this is just as much as look as the stretch thread. Just maybe a more "functional" look...but realistically who's to say what's functional? I run 285/35 and 255/35 just to get from point A to point B not on the track. I'm sure dudes running 245/35 and 215/35 get from point A to point B, just lookin' different while making their trip. So I guess for what we do...they are both functional.
Eh .02...been on this thread for a while so felt entitled lol.

more on topic, to solve the camber question, i redid the CAD drawing per the correct way. i used the middle of the back of the hub as my rotation point and it came out to be the difference of -1 to -4 degrees of camber is 16.59mm. stock is in red and blue is -4*. hope this helps out in deciding the correct spacer

Thank you!!! Helped alot

So it's safe to say, you get 5mm extra with every -1 degree of camber?

There are two variables that will change in the equation, tire height and camber.

An overall taller tire will camber in more distance per angle change.

Simple trigonometry is all that is needed to solve and find the numbers on paper.
