Default Do I need control arms on my Z?

Hey, I just bought work wheels for my car
18 x 10 +18 and +11 offset.
I run BC extreme lows, and was just wondering if I need control arms or will it camber out naturally? I only want slight camber. Also any other help on this topic would be appreciated, I’m new to this.

Congrats on your car and wheel choice, it's not the wheels that dictate the need for adjustable FUCAs and a rear camber kit, it's the suspension mods. The answer I think is based on whether you need stock alignment settings for performance and best tire wear. If that is your choice the answer is yes.
If you want the bottom of your tires noticeably wider and stanced (wearing the inside 1/3 of the tires) the answer is no. Btw "slight" is a subjective term open to interpretation. Gl!

Are you wanting the broken suspension look with the wrong size tires or making your car look good. We don't know the details
