More importantly, you may have too big a difference in height from front to rear - fronts are flat 26 inches; rears are 27.2, thats over an inch difference in rolling diameter

That is why i suggested 245/35 and 285/30

you can also probably do 265/30 and 315/25 or 325/25

right on, I did forget about roll diameter, thanks for the feedback man. I know youv had your fun figuring things out. Iv seen your car

What wheels you looking at?

those CR2P's?

[OptionZero]

I actually went too conservative in the rear - coulda gone with a 325/25/30 pretty easily. But, this was the first set of wheels for the Z so it was a bit of experimentation

[OptionZero]

The answer then is you're putting lots of pointless restrictions that are creating unnecessary hurdles

Rotating tires? this is a performance RWD car. It's gonna have staggered tires.

Get over it?



You want tire wear, no upgraded suspension components, square set up, but poke in rear. just all over the place.

Throw on the staggered nismos and some spacers, be done with it.

If you're not willing to go low and adjustable suspension there's no reason try to deviate from stock. You'd just be half assing it.

****, somebody must've had a bad day. I didn't know all of that would be necessary. I know somebody with 265s on the back, but no spacer. So, I was thinking with spacers, I could get the poke. And I said I wanted to make some suspension changes, but the car won't be tracked, nor will it have any excessive camber, so I saw no need for $1,500 coilovers or a total suspension overhaul. I didn't know that replacing any components would be necessary for what I asked. Now, thanks to your grumpy response, I do, so thanks, I guess.

te37 19x9.5 +22 front on 225/25 19 and 19x10.5 +22 rear on 285/35 19, im trying to get a flush tire to fender fitment with less possible camber(-1 or 0) while being slammed, would this work out

Your rear tires are my front tires.

[k67p67]

Front wheel is a pretty common fitment. Rears are going to need 15mm or 20mm spacers to even out the "flushness". Where did you come up with the wacky tire sizes?

your front tires are almost everyones rears, if not bigger!

Slammed & minimum negative camber may be tricky; as most use this to clear wheels... Sounds like you may want to lower/slam your suspension first, then preliminary set your camber/alignment with a non aggressive wheel/tire size & use spacers to push the wheels out to your desired look (without interference),,, -camber is used by many to clear aggressive stance wheel tire combo’s.
Generally on a 1”stagger wheel set, the rears are usually 10-15mm more aggressive than the fronts.
Seeing that you’re using 9.5/10.5 combo...may want to start with factory NISMO wheels first (9.5+40/10.5+23)

[OptionZero]

wow, never seen those on a Z before. cool

we'll see how they look..cross them fingers! My Z is black as well, I photoshopped that brz black to make sure I liked the combo.

[jchammond]

Here’s a pic of mine; when the F/R camber was@ -1.0* the outside rim lips of these +38 10/12’s would be equivalent to a 9.5+32/10.5+19
Stock ride height; but gives you something to go by if slammed down with your desired camber.

Iv gone through all the stickied wheel fitment threads and Im starting to see a trend. A lot of members talk about "you will have to run extensive camber with those specs and drop" and they arent even super aggressive. When I see and read people having -2 to around -3.5, that doesnt seem anywhere near "extensive camber" Why do a lot of members on here act like it is? I had -3 on my G35 and it hardly looked aggressive or extensive/ too much. I also go 15k miles out of my rears.

am I missing something?

How people talk about camber depends on their background, or lack thereof. Thats why a DESCRIPTION like "excessive" or "extensive" doesn't help at all. For some dumbass who has never run aftermarket suspension and only drive to the grocery store, anything other than stock is "excessive"

For a VIP car on bags, -7 is just a regular Tuesday afternoon.

Camber settings are relevant because the Z DOES NOT HAVE FRONT ADJUSTMENT. There is some range in the rear

There is some camber from raising/lowering the car, but its not within your specific control.

Camber can greatly affect wheel fitment. I have steadily maintained that with the correct combination of camber, height, fender rolling, and wheel/tire sizing, you can fit essentially everything on the Z. It has a buttload of fitment, you just have to put in the effort.

This is why adjustable arms, especially in front, are so important. SPL/Voodoo arms are fully camber AND caster adjustable, so once you have those, you've unlocked the full capability of the Z.

It's also why gauging "fit" when the car is in the air is basically worthless.
