help! stock non sport 370z negative camber wear on rear tires
 
After 5 weeks of ownership of my brand new 370Z, i noticed the outer 1/8th of the tire does not touch the ground (negative camber wear). Is this normal?

The outer sides of both rear tires do not touch the ground. its pretty apparent when looking at it.

The vehicle does not have sport package, so it rides on 18 inch rims/ tire.

The vehicle is completely stock and the tire pressure is normal

Suggestions and help please!

I will take pictures tomorrow during daytime.

our cars come with negative camber from the factory.

Oddly enough, mine with S.P. is wearing on the outside, not the inside.
The Z is set with more negative camber from the factory. This is one of the features that contributes to better handling and quicker turn-in response. Unfortunately, it also cause uneven tire wear.
The 350s were worse. After about 20K miles, mine would vibrate horribly between 25 and 30. Once I replaced the tires, it was fine.

I wouldn't "babysit" the tires. Get a good tread depth gauge and check the depth every 5 or 10k to see if there is major uneven wear. Or. You could take it to a tire store and get a free alignment check to make sure of the numbers.
