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?
I'm not sure what your talking about but you for sure can flip the tires from rim to rim. I.e. taking the tire from the left rim and switching it to the right rim. People do it all the time. We do it on all our cars at my shop. Its a normal practive to get the most out of your tire and money. By doing this i can 12k miles out of a set of super soft tires no problem. If your running a large amount of camber for just looks ya its not the best idea. Personally I track all my cars which is why I have the amount of neg camber i run on my cars. but again i dont see a problem in trying to help someone run a set of rims they already have.

Yeah you dont see the problem because it's not money out of your pocket for tires.

On another note, I understand about the swapping tires out, I was thinking of the wrong thing, tire/rim rotation. My mistake.

But like i've said, it's his car, his rims, his tires, his money. I'm just throwing my opinion into this mix which is causing the OP to juggle his mind. OP. just do it the "UNV-IT46" way, camber that bitch, spend money on tires and be done with it.

HAHA THANX ALOT YOU GUYS!
appreciate all your opinions. If someone does picks it up then i will definately make sure to get the perfect offset.
If not then ill just have to go with the negative camber.

nice rims, but they look crazy as hell w/o a drop. but i guess thats gonna be hard with them stickin out. you should do a custom widebody to solve your wheel problem. then you can drop the car.

the drop might help the rear but not the front as much. you don't loose much by trying anyhow you're planning to lower the car.

you are going to have to really stretch your tires and run like -4 camber at least to get those to tuck properly...

IMHO - you need to get some wheels that will actually fit your car... unless you are going wide body with like 30mm over fenders... these wheels are just not for the G37... (the offset you have atleast)

they are beautiful wheels though my personal fav...
