R 19x11 +18 305/30

Looking at lowering via RS-R coilovers, at about a 1" drop. Wanting to keep camber at rear in the OEM range, but on the higher end (closer to square), as I will be putting a turbo kit on it right away. This of course is for traction purpose.

So, in other words, looking for the "square" look.

Thoughts?

Thank you very much...not my area of expertise, so it is nice to get some input from those that know this much better than I do.


I’m no expert on coilovers or lowering or the amount of clearance on backside of Wheels requiring the coilovers.
But I also ran the more upright camber on my Z,, roughly (-0.8 to -1.0) Front & Rear.
My Wheels are tight on backside w/7” backspace Front & 8” backspacing on rears...very close (finger tip) at all pinch points.
But the front spacing (hub face to outer wheel lip) is 4” on front & 5” on rear’s...your front spacing is just over that at 4.36” & 5.29”...not bad; as you will need more clearance on backside & your tires will be a more square/stretch look than the 285/35,345/30’s I have on 19x10’s,12’s....I’m sure you can dig through this thread or through the [official 370z] wheel fitment thread & find one close to what you’re looking for.
You may want to set your suspension up & then measure up for wheel offsets.
As my goal was to maximize backside & tuck as much underneath fender as possible/ while tuning Wheels more upright.
You’re in the ballpark with what you are posting: it’s just how ocd you’re gonna be with it.
Good Luck & here’s a small pic of mine.
