^^ it will sink a little but it will still be sticking out of the fenders and it will look weird without a drop

You will certainly need to drop your car and run a tad more camber to get this setup to work properly.

Dumb question, but are you sure they sent you the right wheels?
et22 in the front will not fit over our sports brake. you'll need a 5mm spacer.

Is it possible to adjust camber without any modifications to chassis?

CCastro is also having et12 in front. Just found this..

CCastro's Solid Red Z

Doesn't look bad IMO...

Thanks for answers..

Your car is jacked up...
You should put a wooden block, drop the car on the ground so your wheel is sitting on the ground with your spring/shocks are loaded in order to assess your proper 'stance'.

Do that first before you make any other decisions for fitments.

You're right. I will do that but first i will have to buy new wheel nuts..

OEM nuts will not fit.

These are the 19's but on their site it looks perfect...
VarrsToen ES 1.1.2 (19″) | Nissan 370z (Z34) | Hyper Black + Diamond Cut Lip

Like others have said, I think its just because your car is jacked up. Should sit perfect. Maybe a little "poke"

that 40th is lowered on swifts though. so his wheels are cambered in a bit more than a stock z would.

It didn't look good. I send these back to the supplier today.

I hope the wheels will be replaced quickly with right offsets.

+ i'm getting new front tires. (245/40)

I must say that supplier took care of things nicely.

Thanks all for your help!

get +22 and just add a spacer. it'll still stick out a bit at stock height. but it won't be as bad as +12. so +22 with a 5mm spacer it'll be +17. about 5mm further in than +12. so it should be a bit better.

Yes - +22F and +12R. It should be ok when the car is lowered.

Any advices about spacers when driving fast or track? Do i have to think about safety when using spacers?
