Also to answer your question I was running around -4 camber and found it annoying and impractical.. But it looked sick, however there's no point in having a wide wheel if only half or less of that wheel are going to make contact with the pavement

Ad08's don't go over an 18".

That sucks.

I'm kind of in the same boat, except my offsets aren't nearly as aggressive. Idk if I should get a dedicated backup set or say screw it and slap some meaty(er) tires on my 20" SP3's...

Wow, what kind of driving do you do on your 20's?

Daily driven car. Mostly highway about 100 miles a day.

My camber is set at 2.6 in the rear. The problem with many setups on here is that people want to have lowest offset possible and deal with the issues of low offsets after the fact.

My issue is I wasn't thinking I would need to run so much negative camber..the guy I bought them from didn't appear to be running that kind of camber. Although his was a nismo not sure how much if any difference it would make. In my experience thus far negative camber doesn't belong on a daily driven car, or if you want your car to handle and perform IMHO

Previous owner had them sticking out pretty far.

What is far negative camber in your opinion? I think Mike said he was at -3 or -3.5 camber when he had the wheels.

I'm not sure what exactly I was at but I know in order to nut rub everywhere I was at a camber that only allowed half of the wheel and tire to be in direct contact with the pavement

I work and live in town. Been driving the Z daily for over 3 years now. But mostly in town. I think I've seen your car a few times. Same plate as the 350 right?

I wish I could. She would impale herself on the parking structure ramp at the Outrigger, Ward, and Queens. Make ridiculous noises going over the Ala Moana speed bumps, and keep me from getting into my condo. I guess I could move?
