Not yet, I am still on stock camber arms, so what do you suggest?



regards,

Before you spend money on wheels spend your money on seat time. Then start with the basics. I assume you have an oil cooler, if not get one. Then get a Hotchkis front sway bar and SPL front end links along with rear camber arms. If you have the money, then get the SPL front A arms. As OZ stated, there is no need to get wheels for track unless you can get the proper alignment specs.

fore sure get at least front and rear camber arms like otion zero said. you can even put spacers in the back if your heart desires. best set up is 10.5 et 15

i run 10.5 et 12 square on track and street

As of now I have the following:
oil cooler, bc racing coil overs, (sway bar and endlinks ordered already), stillen catback, test-pipes, silicon pipes with drop-in filters, uprev tune, z1 subframe collars, z1 engine and trans mounts.

However, i got your point and I think you are right, I think it is better to get front and rear camber arms.

I suggest getting coilovers and SPL arms and running 18x10.5 +18ish square with 275 or 285 all around like many of the track people here

There’s no point going to a track without this setup anyways, you’re just wasting time

The hard reality is that our cars are simply not track-ready in stock or near stock form.

Some cars come with alignment adjustment built in. Nissan didn’t bother

I couldn't agree more. This is what I run at the track. 18x10.5 square, with 295 Hoosiers or 305 Pirelli DHBs, full coilovers (Fortune Auto FA500s). Plus on the alignment issues too. My car needed more adjustability than Nissan even thought of. Got the SPL suspension front and rear. Very worth the money invested.

Hey dudes, new here. Had some r34 wheels sitting around doing nothing, thought I'd throw em on my newly acquired 370 in place of the awful 350z wheels that came with...

Enkei RPF1's finally got put on. I'm on lowering springs but I can't remember what the exact amount I'm lowered by is.

18's fit just fine on a 370z, you just need to lower the car the right amount and pick decently meaty tires.

If needed I'll take/post better photos when I get the chance, I only now realize I didn't get any direct side-shot pics, oops!
