Default 350z wheel fitment issues

Hello, a couple days ago i got my varrstoen es1 19x9.5 up front and 19 x 10.5 in rear, love the wheels got them in candy gloss red. unfortunately i am running +12 offset not a big deal but wanted +22 that was out of stock. i am running 255/35 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. The ride height sits so high up and i cannot go any lower with out rubbing. i’m wondering what i can do to get lower like i want? All my fenders are all rolled. My friend recommended a camber kit but not a big fan of camber although some cars can pull it off. If i run smaller tires would i be able to drop it more? Wider fenders is out of the picture since i spent most of my money on reps lol. Thought i did all my research but i guess not. ***note the picture doesn’t really do justice on how high the car sits, photo actually makes it look low

You need a camber kit, set the camber to allow your drop

if you continue to lower it, you will need a camber kit anyway.

Rear tires are wrong. 275/35-19 needed.

35 aspect may not help because the offset is causing it to be pretty tight but we’re talking about a fair amount of height. (>1")

Looking at the picture, I'm willing to bet he actually has the proper tire.



Different note, front upper control arm will allow for all the needed front camber adjustment. Rear will need Camber arms and toe bolts , unless your trying to be stupid and slam the car, then you need a camber arms and toe arms with a true style coilover

Yah, likely a typo because from the oblique angle, it does look right. But if it is a 40, that could certainly make a significant difference on fit.
