I would just sell them and get something that fits properly instead of trying to modify everything to get these to work. It's less work and money in the long run with tires and all just to get a camber to fit these wheels. Plus your car will get very messy on the whole outsides of the fender and body with water shooting up from the tires.

This is just what I would do...

wow, I cant believe you guys would actually consider such an aggressive camber just to get some damn wheels to fit. And i'm speaking more to the OP and all the people supporting this idiotic idea. If he doesn't track the car, such a negative camber is useless. But it's your money, and your tire span that will be shot to $hit. Good luck

yea i know the tire span is going ot be short, so i might need to flip my tires every 3000 miles. I personally like the aggressive camber look too. But, we'll see whats gonna happen.

he already has the wheels. why not help him to make it work. If he didnt have the rims already i would say get the correct offset.

thanx! i personally dont really wanna sell these. i really like the look, but as he said its gonna kill tires like crazy which is very true and alot of money. Im trying to sell it to 350 or g35 guys hopefully someones willing to pick it up coz not alot of poeple have replied on 350z forum. If they do then, it wil save me alot of trouble too.
Thanx alot guys.

Why? Because he'll spend more money in the long run on tires. And if you have staggered tire sizes and rims, you cant "flip" them like you would with all 4 corners being the same dimensions. Sell the rims you got, put that towards rims that are sized and meant for your car, and be done with it.

Secondly, IMO, That aggressive of a camber looks like a hack job. Like the old honda's who would just cut springs or get Coilovers and slam it to the last thread, while the tires are angled in like the Delorean on Back to the Future.

IDK, I'm done with this because I'll start getting upset because I don't see what you guys see. Which is fine, because we all aren't going to always agree on things you know?
